Air brakes use compressed air as the power source to stop large vehicles effectively. The New Brunswick Air Brake Test is a comprehensive evaluation of a driver’s knowledge of air brake systems. It is designed to ensure that truck drivers are adequately trained to operate their vehicles safely. The test covers topics such as system components, air pressures, brake adjustment, and emergency procedures. The province is committed to ensuring that drivers are knowledgeable and competent regarding air brake systems for the safety of all road users. Regular air brake inspections and servicing also go a long way in preventing accidents and ensuring that commercial vehicles operate optimally on New Brunswick roads.

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 and 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.
