Bermuda Four-Wheel Vehicle Written Test study guide
Bermuda Four-Wheel Vehicle Written Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Bermuda four-wheel vehicle written test is the theory step toward a Bermuda driver's licence for cars and other four-wheeled vehicles. It checks whether you can read the road before you ever sit behind the wheel: what signs, signals and markings require of you, who has the right of way at junctions and roundabouts, how to spot and manage hazards, how local conditions such as narrow lanes, blind corners and roundabout traffic shape your decisions, what you must know about vehicle safety and equipment, and the legal duties that come with holding a licence. The Bermuda Four-Wheel Vehicle Written Test study guide has 6 sections and about 1,774 words.
01Traffic Signs, Signals, and Road Markings
Bermuda uses a British-influenced sign and marking system, so learn the shape and colour logic rather than memorising isolated signs. Circles give orders (red border = prohibition, blue = mandatory direction).
319 words, about 2 min02Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way
Bermuda drives on the left, so overtaking happens on the right-hand side of the vehicle and roundabouts are negotiated clockwise. At an unsigned junction the general rule is to give way to traffic approaching from your right, but signs and markings always override the default.
308 words, about 2 min03Safe Driving Practices and Hazard Awareness
The core skill tested here is scanning : look far ahead, check mirrors regularly, and anticipate what other road users might do. A hazard is anything requiring you to change speed or direction - a parked car with a door about to open, a pedestrian near a crossing, a cyclist wobbling on a narrow lane.

298 words, about 1 min05Vehicle Safety, Equipment, and Maintenance
A four-wheel vehicle must be roadworthy: brakes, steering, tyres, lights, horn, mirrors, wipers and seat belts all functioning. Tyres need adequate tread and correct pressure - under-inflation harms grip and fuel economy.
