Vermont Traffic Law
What Vermont Drivers Need to Know
Vermont's rural roads, icy winters, and strict points system create real hazards. Understanding state law helps you stay safe — and keep your license.
Vermont Speed Limits
Interstates allow up to 65 mph. Other highways cap at 50 mph; residential streets typically 25 mph. Vermont enforces a 'reasonable and prudent' standard — you can be cited even under the posted limit in poor conditions.
Vermont DUI Laws
Legal BAC is 0.08% for standard drivers, 0.04% for commercial, and 0.02% for under 21. A BAC of 0.16%+ triggers enhanced penalties. First-offense DUI carries up to 1 year in jail and a 90-day license suspension.
Distracted Driving Law
Vermont bans all handheld device use while driving for all drivers. Drivers under 18 may not use any portable electronic device — including hands-free — while operating a vehicle. Violations add points and fines.
Important Note for Vermont Drivers
Vermont law does not permit ticket dismissal or point reduction through a defensive driving course. The primary benefit is eligibility for a car insurance premium discount — typically 5 to 20 percent. Always confirm your discount with your insurer before enrolling.

What Vermont Drivers Are Saying
Thousands of Vermont drivers have completed the course. Here's what a few of them had to say.
"I called my insurer after finishing and they immediately confirmed the discount. Saved me about $140 a year on my premium. The course was easy to follow and I learned things I genuinely didn't know about Vermont roads."

"The section on winter driving in Vermont was really thorough. I had no idea there were so many specific rules about ice and reduced-visibility conditions. Worth it just for the refresher — and the insurance savings were a bonus."
Daniel W.

"Finished in about two evenings after work. The content clearly explains Vermont's specific rules. My teen driver actually sat in and watched parts with me — it was that relevant and clear."
