Which mirror must be checked during the bus inspection?

CDL Manual — Transporting Passengers (§4)

Questions are based on Section 4 (Transporting Passengers Safely) of the official CDL manual (AAMVA model). The Passenger (P) endorsement knowledge test is given in ENGLISH (real test); our Chinese & Spanish are study aids to help you learn the English material. To earn the P endorsement you must pass a knowledge test on Sections 2 and 4 (plus Section 5 if the bus has air brakes) AND pass a skills/road test in a bus for the vehicle class. Federal rules (FMCSA, 49 CFR 391.11) require English proficiency to drive commercially.
