Maine Driver’s License Suspensions, Revocations (PDF Download)

“Maine Driver’s License Suspensions, Revocations and Related Offenses (non-OUI)” surveys the statutes,   administrative rules and cases that bear on this area of Maine Law.   The complex interplay between court actions and actions of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and their effects on a person’s driver’s license status are not always clearly anticipated or understood by those facing motor vehicle offenses, their attorneys, or the judges and justices who sentence them.   This book examines the various grounds for license suspensions and revocations, ways to avoid a suspension or revocation, and forms of relief available for those whose licenses are suspended or revoked.   The book also examines elements of proof, and constitutional issues involved in establishing those elements, for the offenses of operating without a license, operating beyond license restriction, operating after suspension, operating after habitual offender revocation and aggravated operating after habitual offender revocation.
