Vermont driving lesson · Getting Your Vermont License
The three-part exam
A 3-minute lesson from the Vermont course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Getting licensed means passing three parts in order: a vision screening, an online knowledge test and a road test. The road test comes only after you pass everything else. The waiting periods after a failed attempt and the rules for your test vehicle are common test questions.
20/40
Vision standard. If you don't meet it, you're referred to an eye doctor of your choice, at your expense
On the road test you won't be asked to do anything illegal and no tricks are played. Follow the examiner's directions. No animals are allowed in the vehicle.
You fail your road test on a Monday. The earliest you can retest is the following Monday. If that was your third failure, you must wait at least one month instead.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
