Skateboards and scooters — Vermont Permit Test
Skateboards and scooters on the Vermont permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
People using skateboards, roller blades, nonmotorized scooters and electric wheelchairs on the roadway can be traveling at a significant rate of speed.
They look slow and are not, which is how a driver misjudges the gap in front of one.
People using the roadway with these types of devices can sometimes be traveling at a significant rate of speed.
Users of these devices can move abruptly and change direction unexpectedly into your travel path, so be especially alert and cautious around them.
There is no signal and no fixed line of travel, so the only defense is room and attention.
Users can move abruptly and change direction unexpectedly into your travel path.
On the test
What should a driver expect of a skateboarder or scooter user on the road?
That they may be traveling at a significant speed. They look slow and are not, which is how a driver misjudges the gap in front of one. 2025 Vermont Driver's Manual, p.42: “People using the roadway with these types of devices can sometimes be traveling at a significant rate of speed.”
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.
