Old Town Maine Licensing Procedures and Old Town Maine Online Driver Education

The process of applying for your Old Town Maine learner's permit or first Old Town Maine driver's license can be daunting, but it doesn't need to be if you have the right information. This short guide will give you all the necessary facts to ensure that you don't hit any snags while applying for your first Old Town Maine driver's license.

The first thing you need to know is that Old Town Maine has a Graduated Driver License Program that is specially geared toward younger drivers like yourself. The program will allow you to safely gain driving experience in stages, before being granted full driving privileges. So let's get started.

Old Town Maine Instructional Permit and Old Town Maine Learner's Permit

When you turn 15, you can apply for a Old Town Maine Instruction Permit, provided you've completed a Old Town Maine-approved driver education course (more on this later). This license allows you to practice driving with another licensed driver who is at least 20 and has held a license for at least 2 years. You should begin by making an appointment at your local Old Town Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and bring the following:

• The completed application
• Two forms of identification
• Your $10 fee, payable to the Secretary of State
• Your birth certificate (notarized copies are not acceptable)
• The driver education completion certificate

With these materials in hand, go to your local Old Town Maine BMV. You'll then have to pass a Old Town Maine written exam as well as a vision screening. If you survived, a round of applause: you just earned your Old Town Maine instruction permit! Your Old Town Maine instruction permit is valid for 18 months. After you've had your Old Town Maine instruction permit for 6 months, you'll have earned the right to "graduate" to the next step in program.

The Old Town Maine Intermediate Driver's License

Before heading down to your local Old Town Maine BMV in order to apply for your Old Town Maine intermediate driver's license, you'll need to make sure you've obeyed a few Old Town Maine State requirements.

• Log at least 35 hours of driving
• 5 practice hours must be done at night
• Hold your Old Town Maine learner's permit for at least 6 months in good standing

If you've completed the following requirements, head on down to your local Old Town Maine BMV where you'll have to take the dreaded road exam. If you pass, then another round of applause: you've just earned your Old Town Maine intermediate driver license!

Restrictions and Penalties for Old Town Maine Teen Drivers

Although you've proven yourself a capable enough driver by this point, you'll still have to live with a few restrictions until you've held your Old Town Maine intermediate driver's license for 180 days in good standing.

• Remember that with your Old Town Maine learner's permit, you can only practice driving with another licensed driver who is at least 20 and has held a license for at least 2 years.
• If you're a Old Town Maine intermediate license holder, you can't carry passengers who aren't family members unless one of them is a licensed driver who is at least 20 and has held a driver license in good standing for 2 years
• No driving from 12AM to 5AM
• It's prohibited to use your cell phone while driving

If you're able to drive without incident for 180 days, then congratulations! You can now be issued a full Indiana full license, free of the above restrictions.

Old Town Maine Auto Insurance And Financial Responsibility Laws

Just getting a Old Town Maine full driver's license is only the first step toward being a responsible driver. You still need to get Old Town Maine liability insurance. The minimum coverage is:

• $50,000 per person for bodily injury
• $25,000 for property damage
• $2,000 for mandatory coverage of medical payments
• $100,000 per accident for bodily injury

This is no joke: your Old Town Maine learner's permit or Old Town Maine intermediate driver license could be suspended and you could be fined if you are ever found to be driving without Old Town Maine mandatory liability insurance.

Old Town Maine Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As a new Old Town Maine driver, it's important for you to learn the Old Town Maine drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws. After all, your safety and the safety of others is our top priority.

DUI Laws. First of all, Old Town Maine has a zero tolerance law, so if you're under 21 and caught with a Blood Alcohol Content of .02, you'll face stiff fines and Old Town Maine driver's license suspension, just like any adult with a Blood Alcohol Content of .08. You don't receive a pass just because you're a "little tipsy"!

Upon your first conviction of a Old Town Maine DUI (0.08), you'll face the following penalties:

• license suspension of 90 days
• Jail sentence of up to 30 days
• $500

And of course, further Old Town Maine DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Old Town Maine license suspension or even Old Town Maine license revocation.The bottom line: don't get behind the wheel drunk, period.

Cell Phone Use. Currently, Old Town Maine prohibits teen drivers who hold a Old Town Maine instruction license or intermediate license from using cell phones while driving. Even after you gain a full license, however, we strongly suggest that you keep cell phone use while driving to an absolute minimum!
