Frequently asked questions
A traffic control device violation carries demerit points that stack toward Maine's 12-point annual suspension threshold — one signal ticket plus a speeding ticket can put a driver a single mistake away from suspension.
Yes — the state must prove the violation at a civil hearing, and obstructed signage, sight-line problems, or a genuine stop the officer missed are workable defenses. Even short of dismissal, negotiation often produces a reduced outcome that spares your record.
No — Maine law does not authorize automated red light camera enforcement, so any signal ticket you receive comes from an officer's observation. That makes the officer's vantage point and recollection fair game at a hearing.
Because the adjudication follows you: demerit points at the BMV and roughly three years of insurance surcharge. An attorney in our network can often resolve it for less than that surcharge — without you attending the hearing.
