Maine: Full Rule Record
Confirm with your court or DMV. Traffic-code rules change and vary by court — verify the current rule on Maine’s official .gov page or with the court handling your citation before you act. This rule is compiled at medium confidence and should be confirmed before you rely on it. This page is general information, not legal advice.
Maine operates a point reduction program that allows drivers to reduce their driving record points once every 365 days through an approved defensive driving course. Successful completion of an eligible course results in a deduction of 3 points from a driver's record.
The specific cost of approved courses and the number of instructional hours required vary by provider and are not standardized across the state. Individual course providers and courts set their own fees and curricula in accordance with state requirements. Drivers should contact their local court or an approved course provider directly to obtain current pricing and scheduling information.
For authoritative details about Maine's point reduction program, including a list of approved providers and complete program requirements, drivers should consult the official Maine state government website.
