1 What score is required to pass the Maine (BMV) knowledge test?
Maine requires 80% (24 of 30 questions) to pass.
2 Moose are a serious hazard on Maine roads at dawn and dusk. If one is in your path you should:
Brake hard and stay in your lane if possible; swerving into oncoming traffic is usually more dangerous than the animal itself.
3 Bridges and overpasses in winter are dangerous because they:
Bridges freeze first since cold air circulates above and below them — slow down before reaching them.
4 What is the shape of a STOP sign?
Only the STOP sign is an octagon. The unique 8-sided shape lets drivers recognize it even when snow or dirt hides the wording.
5 A solid yellow line on your side of the center line means:
A solid yellow line on your side means you may not cross it to pass. A broken yellow line on your side would allow passing when safe.
6 Under good conditions, the minimum safe following distance is about:
Use the 3-second rule: pick a fixed point, and you should pass it at least 3 seconds after the car ahead. Add more time in rain, fog, or at higher speeds.
7 A triangular (downward-pointing) sign tells you to:
A downward triangle is always a YIELD sign. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.
8 When a traffic light is flashing red, you must:
A flashing red light has the same meaning as a STOP sign: come to a full stop, then proceed only when it is safe.
9 In fog, the safest headlights to use are:
High beams reflect off fog and reduce visibility. Use low beams (and fog lights if equipped), and slow down.
10 A school bus ahead stops and turns on its flashing red lights on an undivided road. You must:
On an undivided road, traffic in BOTH directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and remain stopped until the lights are turned off.

Maine's exam runs 30 questions (24 to pass) covering right-of-way, road signs, winter driving, and sharing the road. Read the Maine Motorist Handbook once, then drill in short daily sets so BMV phrasing feels familiar.
Teens complete driver education and move through a graduated system; the knowledge test is taken in person at a BMV branch.
A modest fee applies to retake the knowledge test.
The road test is part of the graduated licensing process.
BMV branches accept card, cash, and check. Confirm current fees with the Maine BMV.
Local statutes to flag
Maine brings deep snow, black ice, coastal fog, frost heaves, and moose at dawn and dusk. BMV questions like to test braking for wildlife, why bridges freeze first, and winter following distance.
Finish driver education, then book a BMV appointment. Arrive early with ID, SSN, residency proof, and consent forms. Use the wait to review winter-driving and wildlife questions, then check in calm and ready.
