If you have an a3 restriction on your cdl can you still drive a short bus?

Yes, if you have an A3 restriction on your CDL, you can still drive a short bus, as the A3 restriction typically allows for operating a vehicle designed for transporting 16 or more passengers, including the driver. However, it's important to check your specific state regulations, as interpretations of restrictions can vary. Always ensure you meet any other requirements for driving a bus, such as passenger endorsements, if applicable.
