Common Traps

Mainland speed limits

Guam caps at 45 ≠ No 55 or 65

School bus direction

Both directions must stop ≠ No divided-highway exception

Crosswalk parking setback

Parking on crosswalk banned ≠ No setback distance exists

Railroad crossing rule

Mainland sets 50 feet ≠ Guam has no railroads

Following distance rule

Guam counts car lengths ≠ Not the three-second rule

Yellow light meaning

Yellow commands a stop ≠ Not permission to accelerate

Turning on red

Right on red allowed ≠ Left on red never

Parking lights at dusk

Parking lights for parking ≠ Headlights whenever light needed

Texting-only assumption

Holding a phone counts ≠ Voice calls also banned

Phone fine direction

Handbook said maximum $100 ≠ Statute says minimum $100

Bicycle passing buffer

Mainland uses three feet ≠ Guam sets no distance

Wet stopping distance

Not merely doubled ≠ Three to twelve times

Question count status

40 questions widely reported ≠ DRT publishes no count

Foreign license conversion

Mainland converts on paper ≠ Foreign requires both tests
