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.
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.
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.
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.
