The province annually conducts air brake tests on commercial vehicles to ensure their safety on the road. These tests are thorough and cover several aspects of the brake system, including the air compressor, valves, hoses, and reservoirs. Furthermore, the province has strict regulations about who can operate a vehicle with air brakes – only those who have completed the necessary training and obtained an air brake endorsement can operate these vehicles. These measures ensure that the people of New Brunswick can travel safely on the province’s roads, knowing that every commercial vehicle with air brakes has been thoroughly tested and maintained.

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.
