At the age of 15 you must maintain a clean driving record for a minimum of 6 months in order to get a Junior Operator License. You may carry passengers but you must not charge the passengers; you may not drive for employment; and you may not get more than three points on your driving record.

You must also complete forty hours of driving time, ten of those hours must be during night time conditions. You must also submit a Driving Practice Log Sheet to prove that you have completed this requirement along with your application for a Junior Operator License.

You must also pass a road test

A Junior Operator License allows you to drive alone or with a properly licensed person. If you are driving with a licensed driver over the age of 25, you are allowed to transport as many passengers as you have seat belts for.

During the 2^nd three months of having your Junior Operator’s License, you may transport immediate family members in the front seat of your car.

After six months of having your Junior Operator’s License, you may drive a car containing as many passengers as you have proper restraints for.

You must be 18 in order to obtain a full license, and must not have any recalls, suspensions or revocations for a period not less than six months.

The Vermont Drivers License Manual will help you prepare for your written tests as well as your knowledge of road signs and safety rules.
