The 12 questions written for Vermont.

These 12 split into 9 on rules of the road, 2 on safety and impairment and 1 on right of way, and each one names the rule it tests, so you learn the 23 V.S.A. section rather than just the answer. The rest of the bank is the shared national core and the sign artwork every state uses. Here is what Vermont asks from its own code, and where each question comes from.
