Maine license points
No suspension figure here yet
What we have on Maine’s point system:
For the purpose of identifying reckless or negligent operators and habitual or frequent violators of traffic regulations, the Secretary of State shall adopt rules establishing a uniform system of assigning demerit points for convictions or adjudications of violations of statutes or rules governing the operation of motor vehicles
Points for each violation
We don’t have Maine’s point values yet. The official pages are linked at the foot of this page.
How long points last
We don’t have Maine’s wording on this yet. The periods beside the figures above are the only ones we have.
Which date counts
We don’t have Maine’s wording on whether the violation date or the conviction date counts. The agency is the place to ask.
The point system itself
For the purpose of identifying reckless or negligent operators and habitual or frequent violators of traffic regulations, the Secretary of State shall adopt rules establishing a uniform system of assigning demerit points for convictions or adjudications of violations of statutes or rules governing the operation of motor vehicles
More from Maine’s rules
The rules must include a designated level of point accumulation that identifies those drivers.
