The New Brunswick Air Brake Test is mandatory for all drivers of commercial vehicles with air brakes, regardless of prior experience. This test ensures that drivers have the knowledge and skills to perform daily air brake inspections, identify system problems, and perform emergency braking maneuvers safely. The importance of air brake safety in New Brunswick is further emphasized by legislation that enforces strict regulations regarding the maintenance of air brake systems. Commercial vehicle operators must perform regular inspections and maintenance on their air brake systems, including an annual in-depth inspection by a certified mechanic. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in hefty fines and even loss of operating privileges. With such strict measures in place, New Brunswick maintains a meager rate of accidents related to malfunctioning air brakes, ensuring the safety of all road users.

Before learning to drive a Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 vehicle, you must get authorized instruction in the class of vehicle you want to be licensed in. For each section of these practice tests, we have multiple practice tests. Requirements for Air Brake Endorsement are 1) Must complete an Air Brake Written Test 2) Must complete an Air Brake Practical Test.

To successfully prepare, consider utilizing these exams and the official New Brunswick Air Brake Manual to your advantage. The more knowledge you can attain, the better it will be for you once you return to the SNB office to take the air brake license written knowledge test.
