Study Notes
Driving Test
- The driving test will be discontinued and considered a failure if the applicant causes a collision, including hitting another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a fixed object.
- The test will also be stopped if the applicant's actions create a near-collision situation, even if the test vehicle is not directly involved, forcing other drivers to take evasive action.
- The examiner will end the test if the applicant requires the examiner to assist in controlling the vehicle.
- The test will be terminated if the applicant stalls the vehicle within a busy intersection due to inexperience or lack of skill.
- Driving with two wheels over the curb or onto the sidewalk will result in the immediate termination of the test.
- The test will be stopped if the applicant commits any driving error that puts people or property in immediate danger, regardless of whether it's due to poor skill or excessive caution.
- The examiner will end the test if the applicant blatantly violates any traffic law that could lead to arrest.
- The test is discontinued if the applicant refuses to attempt a maneuver instructed by the examiner.
- The test will be ended if the applicant repeatedly fails to follow instructions during the test.
Replacing a Lost License
- If a driver's license or learner's permit is lost, destroyed, or mutilated, the licensee or permittee can obtain a duplicate from the Department of Revenue and Taxation, Driver's License Examination Branch, by providing acceptable identification documents.
- The list of acceptable identification documents is available in Section 1 No.6 of the document.
- If the lost license or permit is found, it must be surrendered immediately to the Driver's Examination Branch.
- If a driver's license from another jurisdiction is lost, the driver must contact the issuing authority to obtain a certification confirming its validity.
- Contact is usually made through the jurisdiction's online website.
- With the certification, another acceptable identification document, and a social security card, the driver needs to visit the Driver's Examination Branch for further instructions.
Defensive Driving Tips
- Be alert for mistakes made by other drivers.
- Anticipate potential mistakes and be prepared to avoid them.
- Yield the right-of-way rather than risk an accident.
- Watch for signs of danger, such as:
- Vehicles suddenly slowing down for no apparent reason.
- Objects rolling into the street.
- Movement or smoke from parked vehicles.
- Vehicles stopping at the curb.
- Oncoming vehicles weaving from side to side.
- Vehicles tailgating.
Speed Limits in Limited Areas
- The Chief of Police can designate certain areas as limited speed zones, either permanently, temporarily, or intermittently.
- These areas will be marked with appropriate warning signs indicating the maximum speed limit.
- Vehicles must not exceed the designated maximum speed in these limited areas.
Passenger Restraint Devices (Seat Belts)
- Drivers transporting children under four years of age must secure them in a child passenger restraint system meeting federal safety standards and used as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Drivers transporting passengers under four feet nine inches tall and between four and eleven years old must secure them in a child passenger restraint system meeting federal safety standards and used as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- All drivers and passengers, except motorcycle riders, must be secured by a seat belt assembly meeting federal safety standards and used as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Passengers riding in the bed of a pickup truck can be exempted from seat belt requirements if:
- The bed is surrounded on all sides by a secure vertical body extension, including a tailgate, at least fourteen inches high.
- All seats in the cab of the pickup truck are occupied by a passenger.
Traffic Signal Lights
- It is unlawful for a vehicle operator to disregard traffic signal directions, unless otherwise instructed by a peace officer.
- Mechanical traffic light signals at intersections use color lights to indicate the following:
- Red: Vehicles must stop before entering the intersection and remain stopped until a green signal appears. No movement or turns are allowed while the red light is showing, except for right turns after stopping at the entrance of the intersection. However, drivers making right turns must yield to pedestrians and other traffic proceeding according to the signal. The Chief of Police may prohibit right turns against a red light at specific intersections.
- Yellow: Vehicles must stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection, unless a stop cannot be made safely. In those cases, the vehicle can proceed cautiously through the intersection.
- Green: Vehicles can proceed straight ahead and make right or left turns, except where such turns are prohibited by official signs. Vehicles must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing on the crosswalk who began crossing before the green signal for vehicles.
Flashing Traffic Signals
- Red Flashing Light: A flashing red traffic signal at an intersection indicates a stop is required. Vehicles must stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection, or at a limit line if marked, or, if none, before entering the intersection. The right to proceed is subject to the rules applicable after stopping at a stop sign.
- Yellow Flashing Light: A flashing yellow traffic signal at an intersection indicates a caution signal. Vehicles must proceed cautiously.

- All vehicles operated in Guam must have insurance coverage meeting the following limits:
- $20,000 for Property Damage Liability.

License Plates and Validation Tag
- Two license plates are issued for all vehicles required to be registered in Guam, except for trailers and motorcycles, which receive only one plate and a validation tag to be placed on the rear plate.
- License plates must be securely fastened to the vehicle so they don't swing and maintained at a minimum distance of twelve inches from the ground, ensuring clear visibility.
