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
