Children at play — Vermont Permit Test
Children at play on the Vermont permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
Be extra careful in residential areas and at times and places where children are likely to be present. Children often move quickly and do not check for traffic.
A child chasing a ball is not looking at anything except the ball.

On the test
What should a driver expect of children near a street?
That they move quickly and do not check for traffic. A child chasing a ball is not looking at anything except the ball. 2025 Vermont Driver's Manual, p.38: “Children often move quickly and do not check for traffic.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
What it costs
- One payment, once — not a subscription. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel, for an exam you sit one time.
- Free to start: a 10-question test and the first section of cards. No sign-up and no account.
- Paying opens the rest of the cards, unlimited full-length practice tests, and retests built from exactly the questions you got wrong.
- Every level up to Prepared — 3 tests passed in a row.
- Do the work, fail the real exam, and we refund you.
