The Vermont Graduated License Law is required for people between the ages of 15 and 18 to experience the stages of driving. These stages are learners permit, junior operators licence and driver's education. These stages are to ensure that the teen driver has more knowledge of the road ways and will be able to prevent more crashes and keep the roadways safe. After the course of drivers ed. you are considered a safe driver.

I like this law because it prevents teens from crashing and teens know how to drive good. I would change the fact that 18 year olds can just go out and get a licsense. I think they should know more than just how to drive. They need to know the ways of the road.

MENDON, Vt. -- Vermont State Police said a man led them on a chase covering half of the state Thursday night.
Police said Daniel Murdough, 48, nearly caused an accident near a DUI sobriety checkpoint on Route 4 in Mendon around 10:30 p.m. Police said Murdough continued to drive after being ordered to stop.
Three officers from various agencies began to chase Murdough, with speeds reaching 80 mph. Police said Murdough struck a police cruiser during the chase.
Police said they laid spike strips out in two areas but said Murdough continued to drive without air in his front tires.
Police said the chase ended in Hartland, after Murdough lost control of his vehicle and it rolled down an embankment. Murdough suffered minor injuries.
Police said Murdough was charged with driving under the influence, attempting to elude police officers, gross negligent operation of a vehicle, and excessive speed.


I think that the driver put this on himself by drinking. I think that he should have just pulled over because he just added a charge and got in more trouble.
