Required Auto Insurance in Vermont

Vermont Teen Driving Laws

Vermont operates under a Graduated Driver's License (GDL) program, which includes three stages: Learner's Permit, Junior Driver's License, and Full Driver's License. 

  • Learner's Permit: At 15, Vermont teens may obtain a Learner's Permit after passing a written exam. A Learner's Permit allows teens to drive with a parent or legal guardian. Teens must complete 40 hours of supervised driving practice (10 hours at night and 10 in inclement weather) before moving to the next stage.
  • Junior Driver's License: After holding their permit for at least one year, teens may apply for their Junior Driver's License. With a Junior Driver's License, teens cannot operate a vehicle in the course of their employment (example: pizza delivery) for one year.
  • Full Driver's License: At 18, teens may apply for their Full Driver's License if the driver has no traffic violations on their driving record.

Please be aware of additional restrictions for teen drivers in Vermont.
