E means what in new york driver license

In a New York State driver's license, "E" stands for "Endorsement". An endorsement is a specialized license that allows a driver to operate a specific type of vehicle or perform a specific type of driving.

Here are some common endorsements found on a New York State driver's license:

• E: Endorsement for a motorcycle (Class M)
• T: Endorsement for a tractor-trailer combination (Class A CDL)
• H: Endorsement for a hazardous materials endorsement (Class A CDL)
• N: Endorsement for a tanker vehicle (Class A CDL)
• X: Endorsement for a double/triple trailers (Class A CDL)
• S: Endorsement for a school bus (Class B or E)
• P: Endorsement for a passenger vehicle (Class B or E)
• D: Endorsement for a double/triple trailers (Class B or E)

For example, if a driver has an "E" endorsement on their license, it means they are licensed to operate a motorcycle. If a driver has a "T" endorsement, it means they are licensed to operate a tractor-trailer combination.

It's worth noting that not all endorsements are required for all types of driving. For example, a standard Class D driver's license (the most common type of license) does not require an endorsement to operate a passenger vehicle. However, if a driver wants to operate a motorcycle, they would need to obtain an "E" endorsement.
