Vermont Codes (Title 23, Sections 3207A-4123)

Safety Messages

Warmer spring weather brings motorcycles out of hibernation, which makes May the perfect time for Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.

FOLLOW THE 4-SECOND RULE FOR SAFETY SPACING

Most of us don’t mean to tailgate on the road, but how do we know when we’re too close? There is an easier way than the old one car length per 10 mph method, and all it takes is counting to four.

PASSING SAFELY ON TWO-LANE ROADS

There are precious few passing opportunities on our Vermont roads, so it’s important to know how to do it safely when we can, and to recognize when we can’t.
