- CA small $100 fine and no other consequence at all
- DA written warning that never appears on your driving record
Why
Maine requires anyone convicted of OUI to complete a DEEP program, which evaluates and educates impaired drivers, in addition to paying fines and serving a license suspension. The conviction goes on the driving record, the minimum fine is $500, and a first offense brings a 150-day suspension, not a five-year one.
