How many classes of driver licenses are there in Maine?

Maine has three distinct classes of driver licenses, each serving different purposes and requirements based on the type of vehicle being operated and the age of the driver.

The first class is for standard passenger vehicles, which is what most drivers would typically use. The second class accommodates commercial vehicles, allowing for the operation of larger and heavier trucks. The third class includes motorcycle licenses, which have specific training and testing requirements due to the unique skills needed to operate a motorcycle safely.

This classification system ensures that drivers are tested and licensed according to the vehicle they intend to drive, which helps maintain road safety and ensures that all drivers have the appropriate skills and knowledge for their respective vehicles.
