- Q1JunctionsRule 10
You approach a junction with no signs, no markings and no signals. Who do you give way to?
- · Traffic on your right
- ✓ Traffic on your left
- · The larger vehicle
- · Whoever arrived first
Answer: Traffic on your left. At an unmarked junction in Bermuda, give way to the LEFT. The most-tested rule on the paper.
UK trap: UK instinct is to give way to the right. Bermuda flips it. Drill this one harder than anything else.
- Q2Junctions
At a roundabout, who do you give way to?
- ✓ Traffic already on the roundabout — on your right
- · Traffic on your left
- · Traffic entering from the opposite side
- · Pedestrians crossing the exit
Answer: Traffic already on the roundabout — on your right. Give way to the right at roundabouts — same as the UK. Examiners pair this with Rule 10 to catch the mix-up.
- Q3Junctions
You arrive at a four-way (all-way) stop. Two cars arrive at the same moment on your left and right. Who has priority?
- · Whoever arrived first — but it's a tie, so vehicle on the right goes
- · You, because you came to a complete stop first
- ✓ First to arrive is first to move; ties are resolved by eye contact and courtesy
- · Whichever driver signals first
Answer: First to arrive is first to move; ties are resolved by eye contact and courtesy. First to arrive, first to move. A complete stop is required — no rolling. Ties get sorted by the drivers, not by a fixed rule.
- Q4Speed
What is the national speed limit in Bermuda?
- · 35 mph
- · 50 km/h
- ✓ 35 km/h
- · 30 km/h
Answer: 35 km/h. 35 km/h national. Speed limits in Bermuda are always in km/h — 'mph' answers on the paper are decoys.
- Q5Speed
Which limit applies at St. George's, Dockyard and the airport?
- · 35 km/h
- ✓ 25 km/h
- · 15 km/h
- · 20 km/h

- Q6Speed
What is the speed limit on Somerset Bridge and Hamilton Wharf?
- · 25 km/h
- ✓ 15 km/h
- · 8 km/h
- · 35 km/h
Answer: 15 km/h. 15 km/h at Somerset Bridge and Hamilton Wharf. St. George's Wharf is even slower at 8 km/h.
- Q7Limits & Rules
What is the drink-drive limit in Bermuda?
- · 50 mg per 100 ml of blood
- ✓ 80 mg per 100 ml of blood
- · 20 mg per 100 ml of blood
- · Zero tolerance
Answer: 80 mg per 100 ml of blood. 80 mg / 100 ml — the same as England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It's only different from Scotland (50).
- Q8Limits & Rules
In normal conditions, what following distance should you keep?
- · One car length per 10 km/h
- ✓ Two seconds
- · Four seconds
- · Three metres
Answer: Two seconds. Two seconds in normal conditions, four in the wet or poor light. Bermuda uses the timing rule — no car-length rules.
- Q9LanguageRule 53
A police officer at a junction tells you to 'filter'. What are they asking you to do?
- · Move to the front between lanes of stopped traffic
- ✓ Turn LEFT through the junction
- · Pull over to the verge
- · Wait in the centre of the junction
Answer: Turn LEFT through the junction. 'Filter' in Bermuda means turning LEFT at a police-controlled junction — not lane-splitting. Only do it when the officer waves you through.
UK trap: To UK/EU riders 'filtering' means threading through stopped traffic. In Bermuda it's a specific junction instruction.
- Q10Language
The test defines 'right of way' using a very specific phrase. Which one?
- · 'The duty to give way does not apply.'
- ✓ 'May go after checking it is safe to do so.'
- · 'Has priority over all other traffic.'
- · 'Proceed without stopping.'
Answer: 'May go after checking it is safe to do so.'. 'Right of way' = 'may go after checking it is safe to do so.' Verbatim — the test rewards the exact phrasing.
- Q11LanguageRule 67
Does sounding your horn give you right of way?
- · Yes, once you've signalled your intent
- · Only on single-lane roads
- ✓ No — the horn is for safety only and grants zero right of way
- · Yes, but only during daylight hours
Answer: No — the horn is for safety only and grants zero right of way. The horn grants zero right of way. It is for safety only, and is illegal to use between midnight and 6am.
- Q12OvertakingRules 39, 42
As a general rule, overtaking in Bermuda is done on the…
- · Left, always
- ✓ Right, with specific exceptions
- · Either side, depending on road width
- · Right only between junctions
Answer: Right, with specific exceptions. You overtake on the right. Left-side overtakes are only permitted in four specific situations.
- Q13Overtaking
When MAY you overtake on the left?
- ✓ When the driver in front signals right and there is room on the left
- · Whenever the left lane is clear
- · On any one-way street at your discretion
- · Never — it is always illegal
Answer: When the driver in front signals right and there is room on the left. Overtaking on the left is allowed in exactly four situations: (1) the driver ahead has signalled right and there's room; (2) two-lane system where the right lane is slower; (3) turning left at a 'STOP, EXCEPT LEFT TURN' sign; (4) one-way systems.
- Q14Overtaking
You must NOT overtake at any of the following EXCEPT…
- · The brow of a hill
- · A pedestrian crossing
- · A crossroads
- ✓ A straight, open stretch of road with clear visibility
Answer: A straight, open stretch of road with clear visibility. Never overtake at a bend, the brow of a hill, a crossroads or a pedestrian crossing.
- Q15Overtaking
A yellow centre line down the middle of the road means…
- · Watch for horses
- · You may overtake if safe
- ✓ Do not overtake
- · One-way street
Answer: Do not overtake. A yellow centre line means DO NOT OVERTAKE. Tested verbatim — don't pick the 'horses' decoy.
- Q16Signals & Lights
A red light AND amber light are on together. What do you do?
- · Get ready to move — you may edge forward
- ✓ Stop. Do not move until the light turns green.
- · Stop unless already past the line
- · Proceed with caution
Answer: Stop. Do not move until the light turns green.. Red + amber means STOP. You must not move until green. The test rewards the word 'STOP', not 'get ready'.
- Q17Signals & Lights
A steady amber light appears as you approach a junction. What do you do?
- · Accelerate to clear the junction
- ✓ Stop — unless you are past the line or cannot stop safely
- · Always stop, even if you have crossed the line
- · Continue only if no pedestrians are present
Answer: Stop — unless you are past the line or cannot stop safely. Amber means STOP unless you are past the stop line, or cannot pull up safely.
- Q18Signals & Lights
A flashing amber light at a pedestrian crossing means…
- · Give way to pedestrians if already on the crossing
- · Proceed with caution — the crossing is clear
- ✓ You must stop; pedestrians have priority
- · The lights are out of service
Answer: You must stop; pedestrians have priority. A flashing amber at a crossing means you must stop. Pedestrians have priority.

- Q21Limits & RulesRule 66b
Between midnight and 6 a.m., which of the following is banned outright?
- · The horn only
- · The radio only
- ✓ Both the horn and the radio
- · Neither — both are allowed if kept quiet
Answer: Both the horn and the radio. Rule 66b bundles horn and radio together: both are banned entirely between midnight and 6 a.m. Outside those hours they're allowed, but not audible beyond 30 feet.
UK trap: It's easy to remember the horn rule and skip past the radio half — they live in the same sentence.
- Q22Limits & RulesRule 66b
Between 6 a.m. and midnight, your horn or radio must not be audible beyond…
- · 10 feet
- ✓ 30 feet
- · 100 feet
- · The boundary of your vehicle
Answer: 30 feet. Audibility must not exceed 30 feet during permitted hours. Same cap for horn and radio.
- Q23Signs
A parking sign is what shape?
- · Circular with a red border
- · Triangular
- ✓ Rectangular
- · Diamond
Answer: Rectangular. Rectangular signs are information — and parking signs count as information. Circular = orders (red border prohibition, blue instruction). Triangular = warning.
- Q24Signs
What shape is used for warning signs?
- · Circular
- ✓ Triangular
- · Rectangular
- · Octagonal
Answer: Triangular. Triangular signs are warnings. Circular signs are orders; rectangular signs are information.
- Q25Signals & Lights
When is it acceptable to use your hazard lights while driving?
- · To thank a driver who let you pass
- · When you are running late
- ✓ Only to indicate your presence in dangerous circumstances — e.g., driving through a flood
- · While overtaking on the left
Answer: Only to indicate your presence in dangerous circumstances — e.g., driving through a flood. Hazard lights must NOT be used while driving, except to indicate your presence in dangerous circumstances. The handbook's worked example is driving through a flood.
UK trap: UK habits of flashing hazards in slow traffic or as a thank-you don't apply here.
- Q26Limits & RulesRule 26

- · Slow to walking pace
- · Sound your horn to warn them
