Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way
The basics that get tested
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. At roundabouts, traffic already circulating has priority; signal left to leave and right to stay on.
Speed, distance and positioning
Unless signed otherwise, built-up areas are tightly limited and the island's maximum posted limit is low by international standards - never assume a mainland figure. Keep left except when overtaking, and leave a safe following gap: the two-second rule in dry weather, doubling to four in rain. Horse riders, cyclists and the narrow Railway Trail crossings all warrant extra room.
Traps in questions
Watch for scenarios where a driver believes they have right-of-way. Right-of-way is something you yield, not something you claim. Emergency vehicles with sirens and blue lights have priority - pull left and stop. Questions about junctions on hills, or about who goes first when two cars arrive together, reward the answer that gives way rather than asserts. Also remember pedestrians on a zebra crossing have absolute priority once they step on.
Worked example
You approach a T-junction with no signs. A car is coming from your right. You must wait even if you arrived first, because the default right-hand rule applies and no marking says otherwise. If instead a give-way line is painted across your lane, the same answer holds but for a stronger reason.
