Maine often issues restricted licenses after OUI convictions or as part of reinstatement. Restrictions may limit driving hours, require an ignition interlock device, or restrict travel to work or medical appointments. Driving beyond these restrictions is a crime.
Penalties
- Fines for a first violation
- At least 60 additional days of suspension
- Jail time for repeat violations, especially OUI-related
- Criminal record consequences

Collateral Consequences
- Long-term insurance rate increases
- Job loss for CDL drivers or those with restricted licenses
- A criminal record affecting future opportunities
