OF GUAM Driver’s Handbook  \nDepartment of Revenue and  \nTaxation Motor Vehicle Division  \nFOREWORD  \nThis booklet had been prepared to assist you in passing the required written test given prior to obtaining a Learner’s Permit, Instruction Permit or Guam Driver’s License depending on the applicant’s circumstances. The main purpose of driver-examining is to determine whether an applicant for licensing has the knowledge and skills needed for the safe operation of a motor vehicle. When the driver successfully passes the examination, this means he meets established standards of motor vehicle operation on Guam for the type of license applied for.  \nHowever, we would be failing on our obligation to you if that was all we offered for there is a great deal more to driving than being able to make a proper left turn. Therefore, we have added life-saving suggestions that will be useful to the first time driver as well as the experienced. This booklet is not only a guide to passing the driver’s written test, it is a guide for Safe Driving.  \nYOUR VEHICLE: A BENEFIT OR CAUSE OF FATALITY  \nThe car has become a necessity in our modern society, but must its benefits mean that an average of over ten 10 people die each year on Guam’s road? The DRIVER, not the car, is RESPONSIBLE for most of the deaths on our highway. Please remember this when you are studying this book and while you are driving.  \nSAFETY BELTS SAVE LIVES  \nThis is one piece of information that can never be repeated too much. Studies of accident outcomes suggest that fatality rates among car occupants are reduced by between 30 and 50 percent if seat belts are worn. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that death risks for a driver wearing a lap-shoulder seat belt are reduced by 48 percent. The same study indicated that in 2007, an estimated 15,147 lives were saved by seat belts in the United States* . This updated booklet contains the latest seat belt requirements for Guam which include the new child restraint provisions. The potential for saving the lives of you and your passengers takes only 5 seconds for you to buckle up – and those five seconds can be the difference between walking away from the accident or sustaining serious injuries or worse.  \n*Source: Wikepedia – Seat Belt Legislation  \nRevised: June 2011  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nSection I: GUAM DRIVER’S LICENSE  \nThe driving Privilege and Exceptions to Who Needs a License 4  \nEligibility – Age and Other Requirements 4  \nApplying for your license 5  \nTypes of Licenses and the Driver’s License/Permit 6  \nGraduated Driver’s Licensing 6  \nDriver’s Education Requirements 8  \nYour Exam for a License (The Eye, Written and Road tests) 8  \nValid Period of the Driver’s License 10  \nLoss of Driver’s License 11  \nSafe Driving Tips 11  \nSection II: TRAFFIC LAWS – RULES OF THE ROAD  \nThe Driver’s Signal 12  \nStarting your Vehicle 13  \nStopping and Parking 13  \nParking Restrictions 14  \nSteps in Parallel Parking 14  \nThe Right-of-Way Rules 15  \nPrivate Road or Driveway 15  \nEmergency Vehicles 15  \nPedestrians right of way at crosswalk 16  \nHow to Make Turns 16  \nUse of the Center Lane 17  \nU-Turns 18  \nSpeed Limits 18  \nPassenger Restraint Devices (Seat Belts) 18 Electronic Messaging while Driving (Texting) 19  \nAccessible Parking for Persons with Disabilities 19  \nIndividuals with Hearing or Speech Disabilities 20  \nGuam Road Conditions 20  \nAverage Stopping Distance 21  \nOvertaking and Passing 21  \nPavement Markings 22  \nPassenger Vehicles (Buses) 23  \nMiscellaneous Driving Rules 24  \nDriving at Night 24  \nControlling Your Car in an Emergency 25  \nWhat to do in Case of an Accident 25  \nDriving Under the Influence of Alcohol & Controlled Substances 25  \nImplied Consent and suspension or Revoking of Driving Privileges 26  \nSection III: TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS 27  \nSection IV: ROAD SIGNS 28  \nSection V: BICYCLES AND MOPEDS 32  \nSection VI: REGISTRATION AND INSPECTION OF VEHICLES 32  \nSection I  \nGUAM DRI","cbCaivD0Uk6IqoNC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivD0Uk6IqoNC","pdf",1402612,33,"English","# Section I: GUAM DRIVER’S LICENSE\n## The driving Privilege and Exceptions to Who Needs a License\n## Eligibility – Age and Other Requirements\n## Applying for your license\n## Types of Licenses and the Driver’s License/Permit\n## Graduated Driver’s Licensing\n## Driver’s Education Requirements\n## Your Exam for a License (The Eye, Written and Road tests)\n## Valid Period of the Driver’s License\n## Loss of Driver’s License\n## Safe Driving Tips\n# Section II: TRAFFIC LAWS – RULES OF THE ROAD\n## The Driver’s Signal\n## Starting your Vehicle\n## Stopping and Parking\n## Parking Restrictions\n## Steps in Parallel Parking\n## The Right-of-Way Rules\n## Private Road or Driveway\n## Emergency Vehicles\n## Pedestrians right of way at crosswalk\n## How to Make Turns\n## Use of the Center Lane\n## U-Turns\n## Speed Limits\n## Passenger Restraint Devices (Seat Belts)\n## Electronic Messaging while Driving (Texting)\n## Accessible Parking for Persons with Disabilities\n## Individuals with Hearing or Speech Disabilities\n## Guam Road Conditions\n## Average Stopping Distance\n## Overtaking and Passing\n## Pavement Markings\n## Passenger Vehicles (Buses)\n## Miscellaneous Driving Rules\n## Driving at Night\n## Controlling Your Car in an Emergency\n## What to do in Case of an Accident\n## Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol & Controlled Substances\n## Implied Consent and suspension or Revoking of Driving Privileges\n# Section III: TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS\n# Section IV: ROAD SIGNS\n# Section V: BICYCLES AND MOPEDS\n# Section VI: REGISTRATION AND INSPECTION OF VEHICLES","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Guam Driver’s Handbook?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed to help applicants pass the required written test and to guide readers toward safe driving practices on Guam roads.\"},{\"question\":\"Who needs a Guam driver’s license, and when are there exceptions?\",\"answer\":\"A driver’s license is required for operating on Guam public roadways, but certain U.S. service employees operating U.S.-owned or controlled vehicles are exempt.\"},{\"question\":\"How do seat belts affect safety in crashes?\",\"answer\":\"Wearing seat belts reduces fatality rates among car occupants by about 30 to 50 percent, and the handbook highlights updated Guam requirements including child restraint provisions.\"}]","Guam Driver’s Handbook - Safe Driving and Driver’s License Written Test Guide | PDF",83]
