Hallowell Maine Licensing Procedures and Hallowell Maine Online Driver Education

The process of applying for your Hallowell Maine learner's permit or first Hallowell Maine driver's license can be daunting, but it doesn't need to be if you have the right information. This short guide will give you all the necessary facts to ensure that you don't hit any snags while applying for your first Hallowell Maine driver's license.

The first thing you need to know is that Hallowell Maine has a Graduated Driver License Program that is specially geared toward younger drivers like yourself. The program will allow you to safely gain driving experience in stages, before being granted full driving privileges. So let's get started.

Hallowell Maine Instructional Permit and Hallowell Maine Learner's Permit

When you turn 15, you can apply for a Hallowell Maine Instruction Permit, provided you've completed a Hallowell Maine-approved driver education course (more on this later). This license allows you to practice driving with another licensed driver who is at least 20 and has held a license for at least 2 years. You should begin by making an appointment at your local Hallowell Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and bring the following:

• The completed application
• Two forms of identification
• Your $10 fee, payable to the Secretary of State
• Your birth certificate (notarized copies are not acceptable)
• The driver education completion certificate

With these materials in hand, go to your local Hallowell Maine BMV. You'll then have to pass a Hallowell Maine written exam as well as a vision screening. If you survived, a round of applause: you just earned your Hallowell Maine instruction permit! Your Hallowell Maine instruction permit is valid for 18 months. After you've had your Hallowell Maine instruction permit for 6 months, you'll have earned the right to "graduate" to the next step in program.

The Hallowell Maine Intermediate Driver's License

Before heading down to your local Hallowell Maine BMV in order to apply for your Hallowell Maine intermediate driver's license, you'll need to make sure you've obeyed a few Hallowell Maine State requirements.

• Log at least 35 hours of driving
• 5 practice hours must be done at night
• Hold your Hallowell Maine learner's permit for at least 6 months in good standing

If you've completed the following requirements, head on down to your local Hallowell Maine BMV where you'll have to take the dreaded road exam. If you pass, then another round of applause: you've just earned your Hallowell Maine intermediate driver license!

Restrictions and Penalties for Hallowell Maine Teen Drivers

Although you've proven yourself a capable enough driver by this point, you'll still have to live with a few restrictions until you've held your Hallowell Maine intermediate driver's license for 180 days in good standing.

• Remember that with your Hallowell Maine learner's permit, you can only practice driving with another licensed driver who is at least 20 and has held a license for at least 2 years.
• If you're a Hallowell Maine intermediate license holder, you can't carry passengers who aren't family members unless one of them is a licensed driver who is at least 20 and has held a driver license in good standing for 2 years
• No driving from 12AM to 5AM
• It's prohibited to use your cell phone while driving

If you're able to drive without incident for 180 days, then congratulations! You can now be issued a full Indiana full license, free of the above restrictions.

Hallowell Maine Auto Insurance And Financial Responsibility Laws

Just getting a Hallowell Maine full driver's license is only the first step toward being a responsible driver. You still need to get Hallowell Maine liability insurance. The minimum coverage is:

• $50,000 per person for bodily injury
• $25,000 for property damage
• $2,000 for mandatory coverage of medical payments
• $100,000 per accident for bodily injury

This is no joke: your Hallowell Maine learner's permit or Hallowell Maine intermediate driver license could be suspended and you could be fined if you are ever found to be driving without Hallowell Maine mandatory liability insurance.

Hallowell Maine Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As a new Hallowell Maine driver, it's important for you to learn the Hallowell Maine drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws. After all, your safety and the safety of others is our top priority.

DUI Laws. First of all, Hallowell Maine has a zero tolerance law, so if you're under 21 and caught with a Blood Alcohol Content of .02, you'll face stiff fines and Hallowell Maine driver's license suspension, just like any adult with a Blood Alcohol Content of .08. You don't receive a pass just because you're a "little tipsy"!

Upon your first conviction of a Hallowell Maine DUI (0.08), you'll face the following penalties:

• license suspension of 90 days
• Jail sentence of up to 30 days
• $500

And of course, further Hallowell Maine DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Hallowell Maine license suspension or even Hallowell Maine license revocation.The bottom line: don't get behind the wheel drunk, period.

Cell Phone Use. Currently, Hallowell Maine prohibits teen drivers who hold a Hallowell Maine instruction license or intermediate license from using cell phones while driving. Even after you gain a full license, however, we strongly suggest that you keep cell phone use while driving to an absolute minimum!
