§ 411 - Reciprocal provisions - Vermont Statutes

§ 411. Reciprocal provisions

As determined by the commissioner of motor vehicles, a motor vehicle owned by a nonresident, shall be considered as registered and a nonresident operator shall be considered as licensed in this state, if the nonresident owner or operator has complied with the laws of the foreign country or state of his or her residence relative to the registration of motor vehicles and the granting of operators' licenses. Any exemptions provided in this section shall, however, be operative as to an owner or operator of a motor vehicle only to the extent that under the laws of the foreign country or state of his residence like exemptions and privileges are granted to operators duly licensed and to owners of motor vehicles duly registered under the laws of this state. If the owner or operator is a resident of a country not adjoining the United States, such exemptions shall be operative for a period of 30 days for vacation purposes notwithstanding that such country does not grant like privileges to residents of this state. Such exemptions shall not be operative as to the owner of a motor truck used for the transportation of property for hire or profit between points within the state or to the owner of any motor vehicle carrying an auxiliary fuel tank or tanks providing an additional supply of motor fuel over and above that provided in the standard equipment of such vehicle. (Amended 1963, No. 163.)
