Air brakes are a crucial component of heavy commercial vehicles. In Quebec, Canada, the air brake system is governed by the Highway Safety Code and regulations set forth by the province’s Ministry of Transportation. Drivers in Quebec must conduct an air brake test to ensure they are competent and safe to operate vehicles equipped with air brakes. The Quebec Air Brake Test assesses an individual’s ability to inspect and identify air brake system components, perform brake balance tests, and use proper braking techniques. The test also covers the mechanics of air compression and the operation of the air brake system.

Air brakes must be inspected regularly to ensure efficiency and reliability. For commercial motor vehicles, air brakes must be inspected at least once every 12 months, or every 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in a driver’s license suspension and hefty fines. In addition, not maintaining air brakes poses a significant safety hazard to everyone on the road.

Drivingtest.ca has prepared this Air Brake practice test to assist drivers in understanding air brake systems. This practice test and practical instruction will help drivers operate air brake-equipped vehicles before and after obtaining their Quebec air brake F endorsement. To operate vehicles equipped with air brakes on a highway (other than a vehicle defined as a construction vehicle), you must have a Quebec driver’s license with an air brake F endorsement.

To successfully prepare, consider utilizing these exams and the official Quebec “driving a heavy vehicle” manual (chapter 4) to your advantage. The more knowledge you can attain, the better it will be for you once you decide to return to the license office to take the air brake license written knowledge test.
