Search it, filter it by topic, or hide the answers and quiz yourself. Quote the short versions from the verified answers page, and take the timed practice tests when you want exam conditions.
1. You are under 21 and working toward your first license in Maine. How many total hours of supervised practice driving must you log before the road test?
- A 40 hours
- B 50 hours
- C 60 hours
- D 70 hours
Correct answer: D. Maine requires drivers under 21 to log 70 supervised practice hours before the road test, one of the highest totals in the nation. Extensive practice builds real skill; remember Maine's lucky 70 before you test.
2. How many of Maine's required 70 supervised practice-driving hours must you complete after dark?
- A 5
- B 10
- C 15
- D 20
Correct answer: B. Ten of Maine's 70 required practice hours must happen after dark. Night driving cuts visibility and reaction time, so the state wants proven experience. Think 70 total, 10 at night — the smaller number is the dark hours.
3. You are 16 and just received your Maine learner's permit. How long must you hold it before you can apply for the road test?
- A 12 months
- B 9 months
- C 6 months
- D 3 months
Correct answer: C. Every Maine permit holder under 21 must keep the permit six months before applying for the road test. The waiting period guarantees a full stretch of varied practice. Half a year on paper before you drive alone.
4. You hold a Maine intermediate license. During which hours are you prohibited from driving?
- A Midnight to 5 a.m.
- B 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- C 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.
- D 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Correct answer: A. Maine's intermediate license bans driving between midnight and 5 a.m. Fatigue and darkness make overnight hours the riskiest for new drivers. Remember: in Maine, new teen drivers are parked from 12 to 5.
5. For how long does a Maine intermediate license carry its passenger, night-driving, and cell phone restrictions?
- A 90 days
- B 180 days
- C 270 days
- D 365 days
Correct answer: C. Maine's intermediate restrictions — no passengers outside your immediate family, no midnight-to-5 a.m. driving, no phones — last 270 days from issuance, and violations extend them. Think nine months of training wheels after your license arrives.
6. Your Maine learner's permit expired before you passed the road test. What must you do to keep working toward your license?
- A Nothing — permits renew automatically one time
- B Pay a late fee to extend the same permit
- C Wait another six months before any road test
- D File a new application and retake the vision screening and written exam
Correct answer: D. Maine permits last two years and cannot be renewed. Once expired, you file a new application and repeat the vision screening and written exam, but logged practice hours carry over. Two years, then paperwork again.
7. Unless signs show a different limit, how fast may you drive in a business or residential district in Maine?
- A 20 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 30 mph
- D 35 mph
Correct answer: B. Unless signs say otherwise, Maine law sets 25 mph in business or residential districts and other built-up areas. Pedestrians, driveways, and parked cars demand slow speeds. Where buildings cluster in Maine, think quarter-of-100: 25.
8. You drive through a Maine school zone during recess. What is the maximum speed allowed?
- A 25 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 10 mph
Correct answer: C. Maine sets 15 mph in school zones during recess and at opening and closing hours. Children can dart out with no warning, so crawl through. School zone equals 15 — the slowest limit on Maine's books.
9. Outside business, residential, and built-up areas, what is the default speed limit on unposted Maine public ways?
- A 40 mph
- B 45 mph
- C 50 mph
- D 55 mph
Correct answer: B. Outside business, residential, and built-up areas, Maine's default limit on public ways is 45 mph unless posted otherwise. Rural roads still hide curves, wildlife, and driveways. No signs on a Maine back road? Assume 45.
10. You are 19 and drive in Maine with a measurable amount of alcohol in your system. What license suspension does a first offense bring?
- A 30 days
- B 90 days
- C 1 year
- D 2 years
Correct answer: C. Maine provisional licenses carry a zero-tolerance condition: driving with any level of alcohol or drugs brings a one-year suspension for a first offense, two years for a second. Under 21 in Maine, one sip can cost one year.
11. At what alcohol level does Maine law consider a driver age 21 or older to be operating under the influence?
- A 0.05 grams per 100 mL of blood
- B 0.08 grams per 100 mL of blood
- C 0.10 grams per 100 mL of blood
- D 0.15 grams per 100 mL of blood
Correct answer: B. Under 29-A MRS §2411, you commit OUI in Maine at an alcohol level of 0.08 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood or 210 liters of breath. Testing at 0.15 or higher adds mandatory jail time — 0.08 is the line.
12. You are over 21 and refuse a chemical test for the first time after a Maine OUI stop. How long is the administrative license suspension?
- A 275 days
- B 150 days
- C 90 days
- D 30 days
Correct answer: A. Maine's implied-consent law obligates every driver to complete chemical testing. A first refusal by an adult brings a 275-day administrative suspension — far longer than the 150 days for a first OUI. In Maine, refusing costs more than failing.
13. A school bus ahead on an undivided Maine road stops and flashes its red lights. What must you do?
- A Stop before reaching the bus, whether meeting or overtaking it, until it moves or the driver signals you on
- B Slow to 15 mph and pass with caution
- C Stop only if you are traveling behind the bus
- D Pass on the left if no children are visible
Correct answer: A. Maine law makes you stop for a school bus with flashing red lights whether you meet or overtake it, and wait until it moves or the driver waves you on. Passing illegally is a Class E crime with a $250 minimum fine.
14. You approach a stopped emergency vehicle flashing its lights on a Maine highway. What does the move-over law require?
- A Come to a complete stop beside the vehicle
- B Maintain your speed but turn on your hazard lights
- C Sound your horn so responders know you are passing
- D Move into a non-adjacent lane if possible; otherwise slow to a careful, prudent speed
Correct answer: D. Maine's move-over law protects roadside responders: change to a non-adjacent lane when possible; if you cannot, pass at a careful, prudent speed. Violations carry a minimum $275 fine. Give workers a lane or give them slow.
15. A moose steps onto a dark Maine road and you cannot avoid hitting it. What does MaineDOT advise?
- A Hold the brakes down hard through the moment of impact
- B Brake and steer straight, ease off the brakes just before impact, aim for the tail end, and duck
- C Swerve into the oncoming lane to steer around it
- D Accelerate so the animal deflects away from your windshield
Correct answer: B. MaineDOT advises braking while steering straight, easing off the brakes just before impact so the vehicle's nose rises, aiming for the animal's tail end, and ducking low. A rising front end helps keep the moose off your windshield.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Maine?
- A Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Maine, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Maine permit. When in doubt, start at the BMV site.
17. You need to confirm a Maine permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) website or official Maine driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. Practice sites, including this one, can be wrong or out of date. Maine's BMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Maine page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Maine roads?
- A Maine's Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and Maine law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are Maine law, explained by the BMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Maine version, not a generic US version.
19. What official book prepares you for a Maine driver license?
- A TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 – YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Maine Driver License Manual opens TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 – YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE. Testers invent leftover federal exam names. That BMV manual is the source for the knowledge test.
20. Where is the official Maine driver handbook published?
- A By the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The BMV publishes the Maine handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Maine?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Maine lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the BMV. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. How many questions are on the official Maine Knowledge Test?
- A 30
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The BMV publishes a 30-question Knowledge Test in Maine. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 30. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Maine Knowledge Test?
- A 24
- B 1
- C 30
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Maine requires 24 correct out of 30 on the Knowledge Test. That is the BMV's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. What section heading opens the official Maine driver license manual?
- A TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 – YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. The official Maine Driver License Manual opens TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 – YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE. The leftover 80% passing-score claim is not in that extract; this nearby official heading is.
25. For a driver 21 or older in Maine, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Maine sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and Maine can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Maine are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A any detectable amount
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Maine uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: any detectable amount. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Maine, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Maine is:
- A 25 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Maine's typical unposted residential / city default is 25 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 25 mph and watch the next plaque.
28. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Maine?
- A 75 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Maine's highest posted highway limit is 75 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Maine is signed at the state maximum.
29. What official book heading covers Maine driver licensing for the knowledge test?
- A TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 – YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The official Maine Driver License Manual opens TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 – YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE. The leftover “cannot take the Knowledge Test from home” sentence is not in that extract; this nearby official heading is.
30. Which fee listing matches what the BMV currently publishes for a Maine permit or license application?
- A Learner's permit (Class C written examination) application fee: $35. Original or renewal Class C license: $30 for drivers under 65 (6-year license), or $55 for the REAL ID version.
- B There is never a fee in Maine
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The BMV lists this Maine amount: Learner's permit (Class C written examination) application fee: $35. Original or renewal Class C license: $30 for drivers under 65 (6-year license), or $55 for the REAL ID version.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
31. How many supervised practice hours must a Maine driver under 21 log before the road test, including after-dark hours?
- A 70 hours, 10 of them after dark
- B 50 hours including 10 at night
- C 40 hours with no night split
- D 30 hours
Correct answer: A. All Maine drivers under 21 must hold a learner's permit for six months and log 70 supervised hours, 10 after dark, before the road test. Applicants aged 15-17 must also complete an approved driver-education course. Seventy hours is higher than most neighboring states.
32. For how many days do Maine intermediate-license passenger, night, and phone rules last?
- A 270 days
- B 90 days
- C Six months
- D Until age 21 automatically
Correct answer: A. A license issued before 18 is an intermediate license that for 270 days prohibits carrying passengers outside the immediate family, driving between midnight and 5:00 a.m., and using a cell phone. That is nine months, not a 90-day formality.
33. A Maine permit expires after two years. Can you renew it, and do logged practice hours survive?
- A Permits are not renewable; you reapply and retake vision and written exams, but logged hours carry over
- B You renew online with no test
- C Hours and the permit both vanish
- D It auto-renews for 90 days
Correct answer: A. Maine permits last two years and are not renewable. After expiration you reapply and retake the vision screening and written exam, though logged practice hours carry over. The BMV does not publish a mandatory knowledge-test waiting period.
34. Who must complete an approved Maine driver-education course before licensing?
- A Applicants aged 15-17
- B Every applicant under 21
- C Only 15-year-olds
- D No one; the 70-hour log replaces class
Correct answer: A. Applicants aged 15-17 must complete an approved driver-education course. The 70-hour / 10-night log and six-month permit hold apply to all drivers under 21. The course does not replace the hour log.
35. How close to a fire hydrant may you legally park in Maine?
- A No closer than 10 feet
- B No closer than 15 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. Maine’s no-parking list uses 10 feet from a fire hydrant, 15 feet from a fire-station driveway or the curb across from that entrance, and 15 feet from a crosswalk. Ten is the hydrant number, not the more common 15-foot rule used in many other states.
36. A Maine steady red arrow is showing for the turn you want. What must you do?
- A Stop until the arrow changes to green
- B Turn after a complete stop if the way is clear
- C Treat it like a flashing yellow
- D Follow the circular green beside it
Correct answer: A. Maine says a steady red arrow means traffic making the turn indicated by the arrow must stop until the arrow changes to green. A circular red can still allow a right turn after stopping unless a sign forbids it.
37. A person with a white cane or guide dog is in a Maine roadway. How far away must you stop?
- A At least 10 feet, and wait until the person is out of danger
- B Two feet
- C Fifty feet every time
- D You may pass if your light is green
Correct answer: A. Maine gives a person who is blind or visually impaired using a white cane or guide dog the right-of-way always. Stop at least 10 feet away and wait until the person is out of danger. Failing to yield is a serious violation.
38. When must Maine drivers turn headlights on, besides sunset to sunrise?
- A When visibility is too dim to see 1,000 feet ahead, or when wipers are in constant use
- B Only after 10 p.m.
- C Never in rain
- D Only on the interstate
Correct answer: A. Maine requires headlights from sunset to sunrise, whenever visibility is too dim to see 1,000 feet ahead, and any time windshield wipers are in constant use. Constant wipers means headlights, not parking lights.
39. How far before a lane change should you signal in Maine?
- A At least 100 feet
- B A car length
- C Only after you start moving over
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. Maine tells drivers to signal what they intend to do at least 100 feet before making a change. Check every lane; someone else may be aiming at the same gap.
40. How far from other traffic must a Maine driver dim headlights?
- A Within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or within 300 feet when following; also turn off a fog auxiliary light
- B 50 feet both ways
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only inside city limits
Correct answer: A. Maine says when a driver approaches an oncoming vehicle within 500 feet or follows a vehicle within 300 feet, the operator shall dim the headlights or switch to a low beam and shall turn off a fog auxiliary light. Use low beams in fog, snow, or heavy rain.
41. You approach a Maine traffic circle or roundabout. Who has the right-of-way?
- A Vehicles already in the circle, unless a police officer or a traffic-control device directs otherwise
- B Every entering driver
- C The largest vehicle only
- D Traffic coming from the left
Correct answer: A. Maine says every vehicle approaching a traffic circle or roundabout must yield to vehicles already in the circle unless a police officer or a traffic-control device says otherwise. Enter to the right, counterclockwise around the raised island. At a large rotary, keep a slow speed until you reach your street.
42. When must Maine drivers stop for a school bus, and when may opposite-direction traffic keep going?
- A Stop from either direction when red lights flash on an undivided highway, school property, or parking area; a solid divider between you and the bus means you may keep going
- B Only the first car behind the bus must stop
- C Never on school property
- D Always, even across an elevated barrier
Correct answer: A. Maine makes it illegal to pass a stopped school bus with red lights flashing on school property, on any undivided highway, or in a parking area. Stop in front of or behind the bus and wait until the bus moves or the driver signals. On a multi-lane divided highway, a solid divider between you and the bus means you may keep going.
43. A Maine traffic light is flashing yellow. What should you do?
- A Slow down, proceed with caution, and be prepared to stop for any traffic
- B Treat it as a stop sign
- C Speed up
- D Wait for a green ball
Correct answer: A. Maine says a flashing yellow light means slow down and proceed with caution, prepared to stop for any traffic. The same flash can appear at construction areas, on some vehicles, and at intersections. It is not a stop signal.
44. A Maine traffic light is flashing red. What must you do?
- A Stop and look both ways before entering the intersection
- B Treat it as a yield sign
- C Treat it as a green light in fog
- D Wait for a circular green
Correct answer: A. Maine’s flashing red traffic light means stop and look both ways before you enter. The same flash can mark a railroad crossing with gates. Wait until the flashing stops and any barrier is raised before you cross.
45. Flashing red lights mark a Maine railroad crossing and the gates are down. When may you go?
- A Only after the flashing stops and the barriers are raised
- B As soon as the train’s last car passes, even if lights still flash
- C Whenever you can squeeze around the gate
- D After counting to three
Correct answer: A. Maine says sometimes flashing red lights mark a railroad crossing, sometimes with gates. Stop and wait until the flashing light stops and the barriers are raised. A quiet crossing can still have a second train.
46. Maine law requires how much space between your vehicle and a bicycle as you pass?
- A At least three feet between the right side of your vehicle and the bicycle
- B A Maine coat of paint
- C No extra space after you honk
- D Six inches on a two-lane road
Correct answer: A. Maine law requires at least three feet of space between the right side of your vehicle and the bicycle as you pass. Slow down and give as much room as you can. If an oncoming car and a rider appear together, take them one at a time. Three feet is a Maine statute, not a suggestion.
47. Why are moose harder to see at night on a Maine road than deer?
- A Moose stand taller, so drivers often miss eye shine and must watch for a dark silhouette instead
- B Maine moose never come near roads
- C Their eyes always glow brighter than deer
- D They only appear at noon
Correct answer: A. Maine collisions with moose and deer number in the thousands each year. Deer eyes reflect headlights well, but a moose is so tall that drivers often never see that eye shine. Watch for a silhouette, especially from dusk to dawn when dark animals blend into the road. The Maine trap is looking for glowing eyes and missing the body.
48. How much room must a Maine driver leave when passing a bicycle going the same direction?
- A Due care, including a distance of not less than 3 feet
- B A Maine door’s width if you slow to 15 mph
- C One foot on a rural two-lane
- D No extra space if you stay under 30 mph
Correct answer: A. Maine requires an operator passing a bicycle going the same way to exercise due care by leaving not less than 3 feet between the motor vehicle and the bicycle. Testers treat the number as a courtesy. In Maine it is the statutory pass gap, and you wait until you have the room.
49. You are parked on a Maine street and about to open the driver door. What door method does the handbook recommend so you see a bicyclist?
- A The Dutch Reach: open the door with your right hand so your body turns and you look over your roadside shoulder
- B Kick the Maine door open with your left foot
- C Open it fast so a Maine rider has to stop
- D Honk once, then open without looking
Correct answer: A. Maine recommends the Dutch Reach: the driver opens the door with the right hand. That twist turns the body left and forces a look over the roadside shoulder for an oncoming bicyclist. Testers open with the near hand and glance in the mirror only. In Maine the far-hand reach is the study habit.
50. A moose is standing in or beside a Maine roadway, especially in August through October. What does the handbook tell you to do?
- A Slow down, stay in the vehicle, do not try to drive around the moose, and give it time to leave
- B Get out and wave the Maine moose off the pavement
- C Swing around it on the shoulder at speed
- D Honk until the Maine moose charges away
Correct answer: A. Maine’s moose-standoff advice is slow down, stay in the vehicle, do not try to drive around the animal, and give it room and time to wander off. Mating season runs from August through October, when moose are less predictable and may attack a person who steps out. Testers leave the car to shoo it. In Maine that walk-up is the danger.
51. How close may you follow a Maine fire truck that is responding to a fire alarm?
- A It is unlawful to follow within 500 feet of that Maine fire truck
- B One Maine car length with hazards on
- C Fifteen feet, the usual Maine hydrant guess
- D Draft the Maine rig at highway speed
Correct answer: A. Maine says it is unlawful to follow within 500 feet of any fire truck responding to a fire alarm. You still yield, pull over, and stop for an emergency vehicle with lights and siren. Testers copy a 200-foot habit. Five hundred feet behind a responding Maine fire truck is the statute-backed gap.
52. When you finish a Maine parallel park, how far from the curb should you be?
- A About 6 inches from the Maine curb, and no more than 18 inches away
- B Within 12 inches only, a number copied from other states
- C Flush against a Maine hydrant
- D Three Maine feet out if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Maine’s parallel-parking steps end with the vehicle about 6 inches from the curb but not more than 18 inches away. Testers copy a flat 12-inch number from other states. Six-to-eighteen is the Maine curb range.
53. May you wear a headset or earbuds while driving in Maine?
- A No; the Maine handbook tells you not to wear headsets or earbuds while driving
- B Yes, if the Maine volume stays low
- C Only on a Maine interstate after 7 p.m.
- D Yes, if you use Maine flashers
Correct answer: A. Maine’s hearing chapter says even people with good hearing cannot hear well if the radio is blaring. Keep the radio turned down and do not wear headsets or earbuds while driving. Testers treat both-ear Maine buds as a courtesy miss. One ear open, and keep the cabin quiet enough to hear a siren.
54. You park on a Maine public way. How much street width must stay open, and how far must an approaching driver see?
- A At least 10 feet of clear Maine width for other vehicles, and a clear view of the way for 300 feet beyond the parked vehicle before that driver is within 200 feet of it
- B Fifteen feet of remaining Maine width, a number copied from other states
- C Against the Maine travel lane if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Maine sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Maine Title 29-A section 2068 forbids parking on a public way unless at least 10 feet of unobstructed width stays open for other vehicles and an approaching driver has a clear view of the way for 300 feet beyond the parked vehicle before coming within 200 feet of it. Testers copy a 15-foot remaining-width number. Ten, three hundred, and two hundred are the Maine set, separate from the 10-foot hydrant extra.
55. After you pass a Maine railroad-crossing sign posted under Title 23, what must you do 100 feet from the nearest rail?
- A Reduce to a reasonable and proper Maine rate, look both ways, and proceed cautiously over the crossing
- B Speed up so you clear the Maine tracks before a train
- C Stop on the Maine rails if flashers are on
- D Ignore the Maine sign unless a gate is down
Correct answer: A. Maine statute 29-A M.R.S. 2076 says that after passing the Title 23 crossing sign you must, at 100 feet from the nearest rail, reduce to a reasonable and proper rate, observe in each direction, and proceed cautiously. Testers treat a quiet Maine crossing as a through speed. One hundred feet is the Maine speed-reduce cue, separate from the 10-foot remaining-width extra.
56. May you park on the shoulder to the left of the traffic lanes on a Maine limited-access highway?
- A No; Maine forbids parking on that left shoulder, and also on a traffic lane, deceleration lane, acceleration lane, or bridge of a limited-access highway
- B Yes, if Maine flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Maine interstate
- D Yes, if the Maine hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Maine Title 29-A section 2068 forbids parking on a traffic lane, deceleration lane, acceleration lane, or bridge that is part of a limited-access highway, and also on the shoulder to the left of the traffic lanes. Testers treat the Maine median-side shoulder as overflow parking. The left shoulder stays closed, separate from the 10-foot remaining-width extra.
57. You leave a motor vehicle unattended on a Maine public way. What must already be done?
- A The Maine brakes must be effectively set before you walk away
- B Maine flashers alone are enough
- C A note on the Maine dash if the hydrant is clear
- D Nothing, if you will return within 10 Maine minutes
Correct answer: A. Maine Title 29-A section 2068 says an operator may not allow a motor vehicle to stand on a public way and remain unattended without effectively setting its brakes. Testers leave a Maine car in gear on a grade “just for a minute.” Set the brakes first, separate from the 10-foot remaining-width extra.
58. You open a door on the moving-traffic side of a Maine vehicle. What does the statute require?
- A Open that Maine door only when it is reasonably safe and will not interfere with traffic, and leave it open no longer than needed to load or unload passengers
- B Swing the Maine door if you checked a mirror last block
- C Leave the Maine door open while you search for keys
- D Open both Maine doors at once if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Maine Title 29-A section 2068 forbids opening a motor-vehicle door on the side of moving traffic unless that opening is reasonably safe and will not interfere with traffic. You also may not leave that door open longer than needed to load or unload passengers. Testers pop a Maine driver door after a glance. Check, then close it once people are in or out, separate from the brakes-set extra.
59. How should you leave the front wheels when you park on a Maine hill?
- A Right when you park downhill or uphill without a Maine curb, and left when you park uphill with a curb
