Driving After Revocation for Habitual Offender (HO) in Maine

A Habitual Offender designation is one of the most serious penalties the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) can impose. Under 29-A M.R.S. §2558, Habitual Offender revocations last at least four years, and driving during this time is a criminal offense with mandatory jail.

Penalties

  • Mandatory minimum 30 days in jail for a first conviction
  • $1,000 minimum fine
  • Additional suspension time
  • Felony exposure for repeat HO offenses

 

Collateral Consequences

  • A permanent felony record for repeat violations
  • Difficulty securing employment or housing
  • Loss of CDL and disqualification from driving jobs
  • Increased insurance rates
