About the Vermont permit test
The basics, in plain English, from the Vermont Driver's Manual.
Learner's permit at 15
You can take the online permit test from age 15. Until you turn 18, a parent or legal guardian has to sign your application first. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 12)
Who rides beside you
On a learner's permit, the front seat goes to a licensed, sober parent or guardian, a driver education instructor, or a licensed adult aged 25 or older. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 13)
A year on the permit
Before a junior license you hold the permit for at least a year, finish driver education and log 40 more practice hours, at least 10 of them after dark. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 20)
Junior license passengers
For the first three months a junior driver carries passengers only with a qualified adult in front; family members come next, and after six months the limit is one rider per seat belt. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 20–21)
Four-second following
Vermont teaches a four-second gap behind the car ahead, and more than that in bad weather, at higher speeds or behind a motorcycle. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 27)
Ten points means suspension
Each conviction adds points to your record, and reaching 10 points brings a notice that your driving privilege will be suspended. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 64)
Vermont permit test FAQ
How many questions are on the Vermont permit test?
20 multiple-choice questions, each with four choices. You need at least 16 right to pass, and the test is taken online. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 18)
How old do you have to be for a Vermont learner's permit?
At least 15. Applicants aged 15 to 17 need a parent or legal guardian to sign the application unless they are emancipated, and need a clean driving record for the past two years. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 12)
Who can supervise a Vermont permit driver?
Someone licensed and unimpaired in the front seat: your parent or guardian, a licensed or certified driver education instructor, or any licensed person aged 25 or older. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 13)
When can I get a Vermont junior driver's license?
At 16 or 17, after a year on your learner's permit with no recall, suspension or revocation in the last six months, a passed driver education course, 40 extra practice hours (10 at night) and the road test. (Vermont Driver's Manual, p. 20)
