Maine Drivers Education Requirements

The state of Maine recognizes the need for driver’s education for greenhorn drivers. Many of these teenage drivers lack the knowledge and responsibility needed to make sound decisions where driving is concerned, due to peer pressure, road conditions, or weather problems. While most states have in place similar laws regarding the necessity of driver’s education, but more need to adopt similar laws. In addition, teens should also be required to pass state approved courses that show the consequences of drinking while intoxicated and driving under the influence of drugs.

You cannot get a learner’s permit in the state of Maine without first taking an approved driver’s education course. This class must consist of 30 hours of in-class instruction and 10 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. In addition, the state of Maine has the added requirement that a parent must ride in the backseat for at least 30 minutes of the required 10 hours of driving time. Drivers must be at least 15 years old before they can apply for a learner’s permit.

Those driving with a learner’s permit in Maine should only drive while accompanied by a front seat passenger 20 or older who has held a valid driver’s license for at least 2 years. You must hold this learner’s permit for at least 6 months before you can apply for a regular driver’s license, and it is also against the law for those under age 21 to use a cell phone while driving.
