1. Under Vermont's Graduated License Law, how long must you hold your Learner's Permit before you can qualify for a Junior Driver's License?
- A Six months
- B Ninety days
- C Two years
- D One full year
Correct answer: D. Vermont requires at least one year with a Learner's Permit before you can move up to a Junior Driver's License. The long practice window builds supervised experience when crash risk is highest. Think: one permit, one year.
2. Before Vermont will issue you a Junior Driver's License, how many hours of supervised practice driving must you complete and document?
- A 20 hours, with 5 at night
- B 30 hours, all in daylight
- C 40 hours, with 10 at night
- D 50 hours, with 15 at night
Correct answer: C. Vermont's Graduated License Law demands 40 logged practice hours, and at least 10 must happen at night, with proof submitted when you apply. Night driving is harder, so it gets its own quota. Remember: forty total, ten dark.
3. You received your Vermont Junior Driver's License two months ago. Who may ride with you when no qualifying supervisor is in the vehicle?
- A No one — you must drive alone
- B One friend from school
- C Your younger siblings
- D Any passengers, up to the number of seat belts
Correct answer: A. For the first three months of a Vermont Junior Driver's License, you drive alone unless a qualifying supervisor rides beside you. Fewer passengers means fewer distractions for brand-new solo drivers. Hook: three months, zero riders.
4. You have held your Vermont Junior Driver's License for four months. Which unsupervised passengers does the state now allow you to carry?
- A Any classmates you choose
- B Immediate family members, such as siblings
- C Only licensed adults over 25
- D Passengers who pay for the ride
Correct answer: B. In months four through six, Vermont lets junior operators carry immediate family members; unrelated friends must wait until six months pass. The phase-in adds passengers gradually as your skill grows. Memory hook: family first, friends later.
5. While driving in Vermont as a junior operator, you are caught texting. What happens to your license?
- A Nothing until a third offense
- B A warning letter is mailed to your home
- C A 30-day recall, plus a fine and points
- D A permanent downgrade to a Learner's Permit
Correct answer: C. Vermont recalls a junior operator's license for 30 days for texting, on top of a fine of at least $100 and at least two points. Provisional licenses are revocable privileges. Hook: one text, one month gone.
6. Your Vermont Learner's Permit or Junior Driver's License can be recalled for 90 days over points. Which situation triggers that recall?
- A A single 3-point speeding conviction or 6 points total
- B Any single 1-point violation
- C Only violations worth 10 or more points
- D Two parking tickets in one year
Correct answer: A. Vermont recalls a Learner's Permit or Junior Driver's License for 90 days when you get one 3-point speeding conviction or accumulate 6 points. Young drivers face tighter point math than adults. Hook: three speeding or six total.
7. You fail the Vermont learner permit knowledge exam on your first try. When can you take it again?
- A After at least one day, paying the test fee again
- B Immediately, at no extra charge
- C After a seven-day waiting period
- D After 30 days and a written appeal
Correct answer: A. Vermont makes you wait at least one day between knowledge test attempts, and every attempt costs the test fee, though total tries are unlimited. The pause pushes you to restudy. Hook: sleep on it, then pay again.
8. You are driving on a two-lane Vermont road with no speed limit signs posted. What is the fastest you may legally drive?
- A 35 mph
- B 40 mph
- C 45 mph
- D 50 mph
Correct answer: D. Vermont law caps speed on all roads at 50 mph unless signs post a different limit, and conditions can demand less. One statewide ceiling keeps unposted rural roads predictable. Hook: no sign in Vermont means fifty.
9. What is the highest speed limit you will find on any Vermont Interstate highway?
- A 55 mph
- B 60 mph
- C 65 mph
- D 70 mph
Correct answer: C. Interstates are Vermont's fastest roads, with a top limit of 65 mph or as posted lower. Their divided, limited-access design safely supports the higher speed. Hook: Vermont peaks at sixty-five, and only on the Interstate.
10. You are driving at the 50 mph limit on a Vermont highway when heavy fog rolls in. How does the state's basic speed rule apply?
- A You may keep driving 50 mph because it is the posted limit
- B You must slow to a speed that is reasonable for the conditions
- C You must turn on hazard lights and maintain your speed
- D The rule applies only to commercial trucks
Correct answer: B. Vermont's basic rule makes any speed illegal if it is unreasonable for existing hazards like fog, curves, or traffic, even below the posted number. Limits set the ceiling; conditions set your real speed.
11. You are 17 and drive in Vermont with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03. What can happen even though you are below the adult limit?
- A Nothing, because 0.08 is the legal limit
- B Only a verbal warning from police
- C A civil violation, license suspension, and a required alcohol program
- D A small fine with no license consequences
Correct answer: C. Vermont treats 0.02 or more as a violation for drivers under 21, bringing suspension plus an alcohol and driving education program at your own expense. Underage tolerance is near zero. Hook: under 21, point-zero-two.
12. A Vermont officer suspects you are impaired and asks you to take an alcohol test. What does refusing cost you under the implied consent law?
- A Nothing if you have a clean record
- B License suspension for at least six months
- C A written warning and two points
- D Community service instead of testing
Correct answer: B. By accepting a Vermont license you already agreed to be tested; refusing an officer's lawful request costs your license for at least six months. Refusal cannot shield impairment. Hook: say no, six months on foot.
13. After drinking at a party in Vermont, what is the only thing that will actually lower your blood alcohol concentration before you drive?
- A Drinking strong coffee
- B Taking a cold shower
- C Exercising vigorously
- D The passage of time
Correct answer: D. Only time removes alcohol; your body processes roughly one drink per hour, and Vermont's manual warns that coffee, showers, and exercise change nothing. Feeling alert is not being sober. Hook: hours, not remedies, sober you up.
14. You see a police car stopped on the shoulder of a four-lane Vermont Interstate with blue lights flashing. Under the Move Over Law, what must you do?
- A Continue at the posted speed in your lane
- B Slow down, and change lanes away from it if you can do so safely
- C Stop on the shoulder behind the police car
- D Sound your horn to alert the officer
Correct answer: B. Vermont's Move Over Law requires slowing for any stopped emergency vehicle and, on four-lane highways, moving over a lane when safe. The buffer protects people working inches from traffic. Hook: see lights, slow and slide over.
15. A school bus ahead of you on a Vermont road activates its alternating red warning lights. In which situation may you continue without stopping?
- A You are on a divided highway and the bus is on the opposite side
- B No children are visible outside the bus
- C You are in a school yard or parking lot
- D The bus driver waves you around
Correct answer: A. Vermont requires stopping for a school bus with flashing red lights, even in school yards, except when the bus travels the opposite way on a divided highway. Passing illegally brings a substantial fine and five license points.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Vermont?
- A Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Vermont, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Vermont permit. When in doubt, start at the DMV site.
17. You need to confirm a Vermont permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official Vermont driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. Practice sites, including this one, can be wrong or out of date. Vermont's DMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Vermont page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Vermont roads?
- A Vermont's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and Vermont law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are Vermont law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Vermont version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DMV officially call the Vermont permit written exam?
- A Learner Permit Knowledge Exam
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The DMV names the Vermont exam the Learner Permit Knowledge Exam. Informal names like permit test or written test point at the same test. Use the official name when you book or look up retake rules.
20. Where is the official Vermont driver handbook published?
- A By the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The DMV publishes the Vermont handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Vermont?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Vermont lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the DMV. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. How many questions are on the official Vermont Learner Permit Knowledge Exam?
- A 20
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The DMV publishes a 20-question Learner Permit Knowledge Exam in Vermont. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 20. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Vermont Learner Permit Knowledge Exam?
- A 16
- B 1
- C 20
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Vermont requires 16 correct out of 20 on the Learner Permit Knowledge Exam. That is the DMV's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. What passing score does the DMV publish for the Vermont Learner Permit Knowledge Exam?
- A 80%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Vermont Learner Permit Knowledge Exam. Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 80%.
25. For a driver 21 or older in Vermont, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Vermont sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and Vermont can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Vermont are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Vermont uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: 0.02%. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Vermont, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Vermont?
- A 65 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Vermont's highest posted highway limit is 65 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Vermont is signed at the state maximum.
28. What official Vermont tutorial helps you study for the Learner’s Permit test?
- A learn to drive safely using our w eb tutorial, DriveVermont
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The official Vermont Driver’s Manual says learn to drive safely using our w eb tutorial, DriveVermont . You can use DriveVermont to learn the rules of the road. Confirm any online-exam path on the DMV site; do not invent a home-exam quote.
29. Which fee listing matches what the DMV currently publishes for a Vermont permit or license application?
- A The learner permit knowledge test costs $39.00, charged for every attempt whether you pass or fail. After passing, the two-year Learner's Permit itself costs $24.00, and a replacement permit is also $24.00.
- B There is never a fee in Vermont
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this Vermont amount: The learner permit knowledge test costs $39.00, charged for every attempt whether you pass or fail. After passing, the two-year Learner's Permit itself costs $24.00, and a replacement permit is also $24.00.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
30. If you fail the Vermont Learner Permit Knowledge Exam, which statement matches the DMV's published retake rule?
- A If you fail the knowledge test you must wait at least one day before retesting; you may retake it as many times as needed but pay the test fee for each attempt. If you fail the road test you must wait at least seven days, and a third road-test failure triggers a minimum one-month wait.
- B You are banned from driving in Vermont for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The DMV never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. Vermont's published retake rule is: If you fail the knowledge test you must wait at least one day before retesting; you may retake it as many times as needed but pay the test fee for each attempt. If you fail the road test you must wait at least seven days, and a third road-test failure triggers a minimum one-month wait. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
31. How long must a Vermont Learner's Permit be held, and what practice log is required, before a Junior Driver's License at 16 or 17?
- A At least one year, 40 logged hours including 10 at night, and a six-month clean record
- B 90 days and 30 hours
- C Six months with no log
- D 30 days after the online exam
Correct answer: A. Vermont teens can take the online knowledge exam at 15, then must drive with a licensed, unimpaired parent or guardian, driver-education instructor, or adult 25 or older in the front seat. The permit must be held at least one year, with 40 hours (10 at night) and a six-month clean record, before a Junior Driver's License at 16 or 17.
32. During the first three months of a Vermont Junior Driver's License, who may be in the car?
- A The teen driving alone or supervised only
- B Immediate family from day one
- C One friend
- D Any number after 1:00 a.m.
Correct answer: A. Junior operators face phased limits — first three months driving alone or supervised only, immediate family allowed in the second three months, no passenger limits after six months — plus a one-year ban on driving for employment. A full license requires age 18.
33. After a third failed Vermont road test, how long is the minimum wait?
- A One month
- B Seven days still
- C The next morning
- D 90 days
Correct answer: A. A failed knowledge test waits at least one day; you may retake it as many times as needed but pay the test fee each attempt. A failed road test waits at least seven days, and a third road-test failure triggers a minimum one-month wait.
34. How long is a Vermont junior operator barred from driving for employment?
- A One year
- B 90 days
- C The first three months only
- D Until 21
Correct answer: A. Junior operators face a one-year ban on driving for employment, on top of the three-month passenger phase-in. A full license still requires age 18. Do not treat a job as an automatic night or passenger exception.
35. How close to a fire hydrant may you legally park in Vermont?
- A No closer than 6 feet
- B No closer than 15 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. Vermont’s no-parking list uses 6 feet from a fire hydrant, 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection, 30 feet from a flashing light, stop sign, or traffic light, and 50 feet from the nearest rail. Six feet is the hydrant number testers swap with the more common 15-foot rule.
36. A Vermont solid red arrow is displayed for a left turn. What must you do?
- A Stop and wait; do not enter the intersection to turn on a solid red arrow
- B Turn after a rolling stop
- C Treat it like a yield
- D Follow the circular green beside it
Correct answer: A. Vermont says drivers intending to turn left must stop and wait. Do not enter an intersection to turn when a solid red arrow is displayed. The manual also says do not turn right on a red arrow.
37. When does Vermont law require headlights?
- A From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise
- B Only after 10 p.m.
- C Never in winter
- D Only on the interstate
Correct answer: A. Vermont requires headlights from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise. Daytime running lights can fool you into thinking the headlights are on; confirm the full lighting system is actually lit.
38. A pedestrian with a white cane or guide dog is crossing or waiting to cross ahead in Vermont. What must you do?
- A Stop and yield the right-of-way
- B Tap the horn and squeeze past
- C Keep your speed if your light is green
- D Pass within two feet
Correct answer: A. Vermont requires you to stop and yield when a pedestrian who has a white cane or is led by a guide dog is crossing or waiting to cross the street ahead. Extra caution is the rule, not a courtesy option.
39. How far before a turn or lane change must you signal in Vermont?
- A Not less than 100 feet; three to five seconds also covers the requirement
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the move
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. Vermont law requires a turn signal not less than 100 feet before turning or changing lanes. Signaling three to five seconds before the action also covers that requirement, especially at higher speeds.
40. A Vermont school bus has its red warning lights on. From which direction may you pass, and does a school-yard driveway change the rule?
- A You may not pass from any direction while the red lights are on, and even in a school yard you must not pass a bus with red lights on
- B You may pass from the opposite direction anywhere
- C You may pass in a school parking lot
- D You may pass after the yellow lights start
Correct answer: A. Vermont says it is against the law to pass a school bus that has stopped with red warning lights on, and you must never pass from any direction while those lights are on. Yellow lights mean the bus is slowing to pick up or discharge students, so prepare to stop. Even in a school yard you must not pass a bus with red lights on.
41. How does traffic move in a Vermont roundabout, and who yields?
- A Enter and exit only with right turns, counterclockwise; yield to traffic already in the roundabout and enter only with a safe gap
- B Clockwise, and the first car in the circle stops
- C Straight across the island
- D Treat it as a four-way stop in the middle
Correct answer: A. Vermont says a roundabout is an intersection where traffic enters and exits only through right turns and proceeds counterclockwise. Vehicle speeds should be slow. Drivers must yield the right-of-way to traffic in the roundabout and enter only when there is a safe gap.
42. Besides night driving, when does Vermont law require headlights because of visibility?
- A When you cannot clearly see persons or vehicles 500 feet ahead
- B Only after 10 p.m.
- C Never in fog
- D Only on interstates
Correct answer: A. Vermont says that if you cannot clearly see persons or vehicles 500 feet ahead, the law requires headlights. In fog, heavy rain, or heavy snow, use low beams. Five hundred feet is the visibility trigger testers swap with other states’ 1,000-foot rule.
43. A Vermont flashing yellow arrow is showing. What may you do?
- A Turn left after yielding to all oncoming traffic and to pedestrians in the crosswalk; oncoming traffic still has a green
- B Turn immediately; opposing traffic is held
- C Wait for a circular green only
- D Treat it as a solid red arrow
Correct answer: A. Vermont says drivers are allowed to turn left on a flashing yellow arrow after yielding to all oncoming traffic and to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Oncoming traffic has a green. The flash is permissive, not protected.
44. Vermont traffic signals are out because of a power failure. How should you treat the intersection?
- A Stop as if there are stop signs in all directions
- B Treat the dark head as a green light
- C The busier street keeps going
- D Close the intersection to everyone
Correct answer: A. Vermont says that if signals are out, for example in a power failure, stop as if there are stop signs in all directions. If a signal is out of order and flashes yellow or red, obey that flashing signal instead of inventing an all-way stop.
45. A Vermont traffic signal is out of order and is flashing yellow or red. What must you do?
- A Obey the flashing yellow or flashing red you actually see
- B Ignore the flash and treat it as a four-way stop anyway
- C Wait for a repair truck
- D Treat any flash as a green arrow
Correct answer: A. Vermont splits two failures. A dark, unpowered signal is an all-way stop. A signal that is out of order but still flashing yellow or red must be obeyed as that flash: caution on yellow, stop on red. Do not override a working flash.
46. What following distance does Vermont call a safe gap, and which surfaces freeze first when sleet or snow starts?
- A Four seconds; bridges, ramps, and overpasses are likely to freeze first and can hide black ice
- B One second; only parking lots freeze
- C Ten car lengths in every town
- D No following rule in Vermont
Correct answer: A. Vermont’s 4-second method is the safe following distance: you should have at least four seconds to the vehicle ahead. When sleet, freezing rain, or snow starts, black ice can form where you cannot see it. Bridges, ramps, and overpasses freeze first.
47. When are moose and deer most likely on a Vermont highway, and what can headlights do to a deer?
- A Late evening, night, and early morning; headlights may freeze a deer in place or send it bounding toward cover at up to 40 mph
- B Only at noon in a Vermont downtown
- C Wildlife never freezes in headlights
- D Moose appear only in July
Correct answer: A. Vermont says moose and deer are most likely on highways in late evening, night, and early morning. Headlights may freeze a deer or send it bounding toward habitat at up to 40 mph. Drive cautiously where deer or moose crossing signs are posted. The Vermont trap is assuming the animal will stay put or will only appear at dusk.
48. How much following distance does Vermont require when you are behind a horse with a rider, a horse and wagon, or herded animals?
- A At least a 4-second following distance, and you must not startle the animal
- B One Vermont car length at any speed
- C Half a second if you stay under 15 mph
- D No gap is required on a dirt road
Correct answer: A. Vermont tells you not to startle an animal when you meet, follow, or pass it. When following a horse with a rider, a horse and wagon, or herded animals, leave at least a 4-second following distance. Use the full lane to pass and never cut quickly back. Negligent operation around those animals can mean a fine or jail. Testers reuse the ordinary following count. Behind a Vermont horse the floor is four seconds.
49. How much space does Vermont tell you to leave when you pass a bicyclist?
- A At least four feet between the right side of your vehicle and the rider
- B A Vermont mirror’s width after you honk
- C A flat three feet copied from other states
- D No extra space if you stay under 25 mph
Correct answer: A. Vermont tells drivers to leave at least four feet of passing space between the right side of the vehicle and a bicyclist. If the road is too narrow to share side by side, wait until you can pass without forcing the rider off the road. Two riders may legally ride side by side. Testers invent a three-foot Vermont number. Four feet is the handbook gap.
50. You approach a Vermont snowplow or other state, city, or town maintenance vehicle working on the highway with lights flashing. What must you do?
- A Proceed with caution and yield the right-of-way to that Vermont vehicle
- B Pass on the Vermont shoulder at highway speed
- C Draft the Vermont blade at one car length
- D Honk so the Vermont crew moves over
Correct answer: A. Vermont requires drivers to yield the right-of-way to any state, city, or town maintenance vehicle working on a highway. A driver approaching a snowplow with lights flashing must proceed with caution and yield. The same caution applies to towing and repair vehicles with amber flashers. Testers treat a Vermont plow like any slow truck. Yielding to the working plow is the statute-backed item.
51. A Vermont roadway has a continuous two-way left-turn lane. How should you use it?
- A Signal a short distance before the Vermont left, put your whole vehicle in the lane, then turn when the way is clear; it is not a travel lane
- B Drive the full Vermont block in the center stripe at highway speed
- C Use it as a Vermont passing bay if the dashes fade
- D Stop halfway in the Vermont through lane so others can see you
Correct answer: A. Vermont says continuous two-way left-turn lanes are not designed as travel lanes because traffic from both directions may want them. Signal a short distance before the left, move in carefully, and keep your whole vehicle in the turn lane so you do not block through traffic. Testers camp in a Vermont center stripe. Turn, then leave.
52. How close to a Vermont fire-station driveway may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet across the street when signs mark the Vermont entrance
- B Six feet, the Vermont hydrant number
- C Against the Vermont bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Vermont bike lane is empty
Correct answer: A. Vermont forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, or across the street within 75 feet of that driveway when signs are posted. Testers reuse Vermont’s 6-foot hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five are the firehouse pair.
53. You park on a Vermont two-lane road, or on a Vermont one-way road. How close to the curb or road edge must the vehicle sit?
- A Right wheels within 12 inches of the right Vermont curb on a two-lane road, or within 12 inches of the side you use on a one-way road
- B Within 18 inches only, a number copied from other Vermont neighbors
- C Against the Vermont sidewalk if flashers are on
- D Straddling the Vermont center line if the shoulder is soft
Correct answer: A. Vermont requires a vehicle parked on a two-lane road to keep the right wheels within 12 inches of the right side or curb. On a one-way road the vehicle must sit within 12 inches of the side of the road, facing the same way as traffic. Testers copy an 18-inch number. Twelve inches is the Vermont curb gap.
54. A Vermont train approaching a crossing is giving an audible warning. How far away may that train still be when you must already treat it as an immediate hazard?
- A Within 80 rods, which is 1,320 feet of the Vermont crossing
- B Within 1,500 feet only, a number copied from other Vermont neighbors
- C Within 500 feet if Vermont flashers are on
- D Only after the Vermont locomotive reaches the pavement
Correct answer: A. 23 V.S.A. 1071 requires a stop when a railroad train or other on-track equipment approaching within 80 rods — 1,320 feet — of the highway crossing emits a signal audible from that distance and is an immediate hazard because of its speed or nearness. Testers copy a 1,500-foot number from other states. Eighty rods is the Vermont audible-train distance.
55. You park on a Vermont highway where parking is permitted. What remaining space and sight distance does Vermont require?
- A An unobstructed Vermont width opposite the vehicle for other traffic, and a clear view of any stopped vehicle from 200 feet in each direction
- B Ten remaining Vermont feet, copied from a Maine rule
- C Any Vermont shoulder if flashers are on
- D A view from 50 Vermont feet only
Correct answer: A. Vermont Statute 23 V.S.A. 1101 says that where parking is permitted an unobstructed width opposite a standing vehicle must stay open for other traffic, and a clear view of any stopped vehicle must exist from 200 feet in each direction. Testers invent a 10-foot Vermont remaining-width number. Two hundred feet is the Vermont sight figure, separate from the 12-inch curb extra.
56. May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Vermont curb?
- A No; Vermont forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb
- B Yes, if Vermont flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Vermont street
- D Yes, if the Vermont hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Vermont Statute 23 V.S.A. 1104 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street. Testers squeeze alongside a Vermont curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 6-foot hydrant and 200-foot rural-sight extras.
57. A Vermont official sign restricts parking at an electric-vehicle charging station. When may you leave a vehicle there?
- A Only when that Vermont vehicle follows the posted charging-station restrictions
- B Anytime Vermont flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. at a Vermont charger
- D Anytime the Vermont hydrant is clear
