txt Vermont Driver's Manual: 2024

Your decision to obtain a Learner’s Permit or a Driver’s License carries with it, one of life’s greatest social responsibilities. You are committing to: maintaining a safe operating vehicle that meets Vermont’s emissions standards, carrying liability insurance, always obeying the rules of the road, and adopting habits that eliminate driving distractions.

Vehicle collisions are the leading cause of hospitalization and death from injuries. People of all ages are affected, whether they are the driver, passenger, or family member of a victim of one of these crashes.

Having a license is a privilege; one that is earned by demonstrating your driving skills in a manner that shows you are a proficient and safe driver.Contents
