|---|---|
| License points | 2 points (traffic control signal or stop sign) |

Frequently asked questions
Yes — because these are civil violations, the state must prove them at a Judicial Bureau hearing, and issues like sight lines, signal timing, and where your vehicle actually stopped are all fair game. Many cases also resolve through negotiation before hearing.
No — Vermont does not operate automated red light camera programs, so a signal ticket in Vermont was written by an officer and follows the normal contested-hearing process.
Payment is an admission: two points on your record and a violation your insurer will surcharge for about three years. Contesting or negotiating usually costs less than that surcharge.
You're allowed to go alone, but an attorney knows what the officer must prove and what resolutions the process allows. We can connect you with a Vermont attorney who handles it end to end.
