Prepare one topic at a time

Use these quizzes alongside the Maine Motorist Handbook and the BMV’s graduated licensing guidance. The goal is to understand each rule—not simply memorize answer positions.

Turn mistakes into progress

  • Read the current Maine Motorist Handbook and official GDL guidance.
  • Start with General Knowledge before moving into focused topic tests.
  • Review why each wrong choice is unsafe or inconsistent with the rule.
  • Take the Full Mock Test only after strengthening weaker topics.

70 hours — the highest practice requirement in the country

Maine asks more supervised driving of its teens than any other state. Knowing the three stages, and what the 270-day clock means, saves a lot of confusion later.

01

Learner’s permit at 15

Everyone under 18 must complete an approved driver education course before the permit is issued.

  • Held at least six months before the road test
  • Your supervising driver must be 20 or older and licensed for two years
  • No mobile phone use, at all, on a permit
02

70 hours behind the wheel

A parent or guardian certifies at least 70 hours of supervised driving, 10 of them at night, before you can take the road test at 16.

03

Intermediate licence — 270 days

Any licence issued before 18 is an intermediate licence for 270 days. During that window you may not:

  • Carry passengers other than immediate family
  • Drive between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m.
  • Use a mobile phone while driving

Break one of those restrictions and the 270 days restart from the date of the infraction, with a licence suspension on top — and the extension can run past your 18th birthday. Details reflect Maine BMV guidance; confirm current rules with the BMV before applying.

Maine teen permit and intermediate licence FAQs

How many hours of supervised driving does Maine require?

Maine requires 70 hours of supervised practice driving, including at least 10 hours at night, certified by a parent or guardian. That is the highest practice-hour requirement of any US state.

Do I need driver education to get a Maine learner’s permit?

Yes, if you are under 18. Maine requires completion of an approved driver education course before the BMV will issue your permit. If you skip driver education, you wait until 18 and apply for a juvenile provisional licence instead.

Who can supervise me while I drive on a permit?

A licensed driver who is at least 20 years old and has held a valid licence for at least two years. Maine’s supervisor age is lower than the 21 most states use, but the two-year licensing requirement still applies.

What is the 270-day intermediate period?

Any driver licence issued before you turn 18 is an intermediate licence for 270 days from the date it was first issued. Passenger, night-driving and mobile phone restrictions apply for that whole period before you can hold an unrestricted licence.

What happens if I break an intermediate licence restriction?

The restrictions are extended a further 270 days from the date of the infraction and your licence is suspended. The extended period can continue past your 18th birthday.

Can I drive to an early job or school event before 5 a.m.?

The intermediate licence prohibits driving between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. Limited exceptions exist in Maine law, so check the current BMV guidance rather than assuming your situation qualifies.
