Baffled inOakland of Oakland, ME In Maine, you Can't lose your license. The jerk that Oakland PD arrested last week running from the cops when school was letting out? His license was Revoked. But, according to Maine.gov/SOS he can get his license back in under 6 months if he takes a class. What does it take to get your license Revoked, and why can you get it back?report abuse

mainiac of Fairfield, ME MAINE has some stupid laws.In Massachusetts, 50 years ago, I lost my license for a DUI and I wasn't even driving. I was sitting in my car at 2:00 AM with the key in the ignition. My first offense. I lost my license for a YEAR, and I had to retake the drivers test to get my license back.It worked.I have never drank and drove again.
It was difficult getting around , but not impossible. I learned to walk alot , I learned that TAXIs are expensive. I also learned that there are other ways to enjoy life , than sitting in a bar getting soused every night.
Maine judges need to reread the law. Licences are NOT a right . They are a PRIVILEDGE. They (LICENCES)are not a NECESSITY. They are a luxurt and should be treated as such.
These people that say they need their license to commute back and forth to work are making a feeble excuse. No one forced them to stop at the bar or pick up the 32 pk of beer on the way home. That was their own choice , as was drinking and driving.
MAYBE, if they knew that they would automatically lose their license for a minimum of 1 year and have to retest in order to get it back, MAYBE, they would think before they drove drunk.MAYBE. In Mass. the second offense iis for 5 yearsloss of license and the third offense it is GONE.report abuse
