Driving Laws Information

 Vermont Driving Laws
Vermont Point Reduction System

 
The Department of Motor Vehicles assigns the points based upon the judgment issued by the Judicial Bureau. Some violations, such as driving an unregistered or uninspected vehicle; do not result in any points.

Other violations, such as speeding, running a red light, driving after suspension, and many others, do result in points on your driving record. If you have a hearing and the judge decides you are at fault for an accident, you will receive 2 additional points.

 

If you accumulate too many points within two years, DMV will suspend your driving privilege as follows:

  • 10 points/10 day suspension
  • 15 points/30 day suspension
  • 20 points/90 day suspension

For each additional 5 points above 20 points, the suspension is an extra 30 days above 90 days in length. Also, an automatic 60 day suspension is imposed for counterfeiting any registration plate, inspection sticker, license certificate, etc. After the suspension period is over, you must pay a $50.00 fee to the DMV and obtain a reinstatement letter before driving again. The reinstatement fee is charged after every suspension.
