How long does an Accident, DUI or Ticket stay on my driving record in Maine?

Answer:
If you plan to move to Maine, the so-called Vacation
Land, you might want to know some facts about Maine driving records and how traffic violations and convictions might impact those records.


It is not clear exactly how long an accident, DUI or ticket will remain on one's driving record after convictions, so using a rule of thumb and averaging data across other states, it is probably safe to say that a DUI conviction is likely to remain on the record for ten years or more. 

Accidents and tickets might remain on the record for three or more years, and might depend upon the severity and other circumstances.

According to the Maine DMV (called the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, or BMV, in Maine) website, you can obtain a copy of your Maine driving record either by postal mail or even online .
