Sample questions
What is the minimum age to get a Maine motorcycle license?
- A 15
- B 17
- C 18
- D 16
Show answer
D. 16
You must be at least 16 to get a Maine motorcycle license, and if you are under 18 you must also have completed basic driver education. Remember it as 16 to ride, with driver ed required until 18.
In Maine, operating with an alcohol level at or above what level is the criminal offense of operating under the influence (OUI)?
- A 0.08
- B 0.05
- C 0.10
- D 0.15
Show answer
A. 0.08
Maine's summary of its OUI law says operating with an alcohol level of 0.08 grams per 100 milliliters of blood, or per 210 liters of breath, is the criminal offense of operating under the influence. Judgment is impaired well before this point, so the safest choice is not to ride after drinking.
Your Maine motorcycle road test was waived because you completed the Basic Rider Course. What restriction applies to your new endorsement?
- A No riding after dark for 60 days after it is issued
- B No highway riding for 90 days after it is issued
- C No passengers until you turn 21
- D No passengers for 60 days after it is issued
Show answer
D. No passengers for 60 days after it is issued
If your road exam is waived, your Maine motorcycle endorsement prohibits carrying a passenger for 60 days after the date it is issued. A passenger changes how the motorcycle handles, so new riders get time to build experience alone first.
A 17-year-old is riding as a passenger with a 45-year-old fully licensed rider in Maine. Must the 17-year-old wear a helmet?
- A No, only the operator can be required to wear one
- B No, because the operator is a fully licensed adult
- C Yes, but only when riding on an interstate highway
- D Yes, everyone under 18 must wear one, rider or passenger
Show answer
D. Yes, everyone under 18 must wear one, rider or passenger
In Maine, every person under 18 who operates a motorcycle or rides as a passenger must wear protective headgear. The rule follows the young rider, whoever is driving.
