In some countries, to be permitted to operate an air brake equipped vehicle, your licence must show an endorsement which permits you to. In the US, "air brake endorsement" is actually a misnomer - there is no air brake endorsement on a US licence. If a CDL driver does not pass the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they get a restriction prohibiting them from operating an air brake equipped commercial vehicles. However, this is only applicable to commercial vehicles - operating a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes requires absolutely no qualification, whatsoever.
