Frequently asked questions
How does Maine's demerit point system work for speeding?
The BMV assigns demerit points to each moving violation on a sliding scale — faster over the limit means more points — and hitting 12 points within a year suspends your license. Keeping the adjudication off your record keeps the points off too.
What is 'criminal speeding' in Maine?
Driving 30 mph or more over the limit is a Class E crime in Maine, not a civil infraction — meaning a criminal record, larger penalties, and license suspension exposure. Those cases need a real defense, and a licensed Maine attorney should review yours before you respond to the charge.
Can I fight a Maine speeding ticket without going to court?
Generally, yes — civil violation hearings can usually be handled by an attorney appearing for you. We connect you with a Maine attorney who negotiates with the officer or prosecutor for a reduced or dismissed charge while you go about your day.
Is it cheaper to just pay the Maine ticket?
Paying admits the violation: demerit points post to your BMV record and your insurer surcharges you at renewal for about three years. The combined cost usually exceeds what it takes to contest the ticket.
Can demerit points be removed from a Maine record?
Maine credits points back for violation-free driving and for completing an approved driver improvement course, but the underlying adjudication stays visible to insurers. Preventing it in the first place is worth more than cleanup afterward.
