Cheat sheet

The single most-tested item on the paper, and the single most counter-intuitive rule for a UK driver.

Same as the UK. Examiners love pairing this with Rule 10 on back-to-back questions to catch the mix-up.

National 35 km/h. St. George's / Dockyard / Airport 25. Somerset Bridge / Hamilton Wharf 15. St. George's Wharf 8.

The paper will offer '35 mph' as a decoy — don't bite.

Same as England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Only different if your reference point is Scotland (50 mg).

At a police-controlled junction, 'filter' is the officer's instruction to make a left turn. It is not lane-splitting. Only filter when waved through.

Default rule: overtake on the right, unless the driver ahead has signalled right. Not in one-way streets.

A corner or bend.

The brow of a hill.

A crossroads.

A pedestrian crossing.

1. The driver in front has signalled right and there is room on the left.

2. A two-lane system where the right lane is slower.

3. Turning left at a 'STOP, EXCEPT LEFT TURN' sign.

4. One-way systems.

Tested verbatim. Don't pick the 'watch for horses' decoy.

Exceptions: passing a stationary vehicle, or overtaking a cycle / horse / maintenance vehicle travelling at ≤ 15 km/h.

Do not move until green. This is the most-missed light-phrasing question.

Unless you are already past the line, or you cannot pull up safely.

Pedestrians have priority.

A complete stop is required — no rolling. Ties are resolved by eye contact and courtesy, not by a fixed right-hand rule.

'May go after checking it is safe to do so.'

For safety only. Illegal to sound between midnight and 6am.

Applies to both. The handbook bundles them into the same rule, which is why the radio restriction catches people out.

Same 30-foot audibility cap for the horn and the radio.

Red border = prohibition. Blue = instruction.

Includes parking signs — common trick answer.

The only exception is indicating your presence in dangerous circumstances — the handbook's worked example is driving through a flood. Stricter than UK habit.

Anything sticking out behind the vehicle must be marked.

Not just slow down. If the rider or handler signals, kill the engine.

Applies to turning your vehicle on a curve or brow of a hill.

If unavoidable, give way to all other traffic.

If you did not give your details at the scene.

A visitor must have resided in Bermuda for 30 days before applying for a Bermuda licence.

10 years standard · 5 years for ages 65–74 · 2 years for 75+.

The eyesight standard.

The default, unless signed otherwise.

Four seconds in the wet or in poor light. More behind buses, trailers and large vehicles. Bermuda uses time, not car-lengths.

Yes, mph — the handbook switches units for this one calculation.

The handbook still lists both. Either is the correct answer on the paper.

Any accident in the last 3 years → 2× more likely in the next 3. At-fault accident → 4× more likely to have a similar one in the next year.

One passenger, proper seat, both feet on footrests. No age rule — the '14+' figure is for seat belts in cars; don't conflate them.

Which is why the handbook is so bike-heavy.
