I’m going to visit Canada this summer. Most of my drive will be through Vermont. In the spirit of getting to Canada quickly, I’m betting I’ll be driving fast. What does Vermont consider reckless driving?

Driving to Canada from the U.S. is one of the best road trips in North America. But if you have a bit of a lead foot, try to keep it in check.
While no set speed is considered reckless driving in
Vermont
, going 30 mph over the posted speed limit will often get you a reckless driving charge.
Reckless driving in Vermont is a misdemeanor that carries up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine for your first offense. However, a gross reckless driving charge in the state is even more severe and can amount to jail time of up to 15 years and a $15,000 fine.
