缅因州驾照
搬到美国后，在缅因州拿到你的第一张驾照。
流程是这样
- 1你到了你搬到了缅因州，想在这里开车。
- 2学习许可你拿着学习驾驶许可（learner permit）上路练车。
- 3笔试你参加笔试。
- 4路考你亲自上车参加路考。
- 拿到驾照你通过了考试，驾照就是你的了。
要花多少钱
第一张驾照
$55
基础 C 类驾照（Class C）为 $35，这是小轿车和轻型卡车对应的类别。
这笔费用在申请时缴纳。
如果你刚到美国
没有有效期的外国证件
可以接受。缅因州的规则是：证件必须清晰可读、真实有效，并且要么未过期，要么属于本身没有有效期的类型。
如果你没有可转换的驾照
如果你在过去 5 年内没有在缅因州或其他司法辖区持有过驾照，你需要参加完整的考试：视力检查、笔试和路考。
需要的材料
- 仍然有效的证件对美国公民来说，过期不到 2 年的美国护照仍然可以作为合法居留证明。
- 你出示的每份文件都必须清晰可读且未过期，除非它属于本身没有有效期的类型。
你的社会安全号码（SSN）
提供号码，以及谁能看到它
缅因州不向未持有并提供有效社会安全号码（SSN）的人签发驾照或身份证。
如果你有资格获得社会安全号码（SSN），就必须提供。
州务卿办公室（Secretary of State）会收集、保存并核验你的社会安全号码（SSN），并可能用它来设定你的永久驾照号码；这个号码不会印在驾照上。依法没有资格获得社会安全号码的人可以豁免。
要参加的考试
视力检查
所有申请人都必须做；你可以在参加笔试时免费做，也可以自费请你选择的医生检查，并填写 BMV 的视力检查表（eye examination form）。参加驾照考试时，把填好的表交给考官。
路考
必须参加——你要通过实际驾驶来证明你操作机动车的能力。
笔试可以考几次
缅因州没有公布考试次数上限，也没有规定重考之间的等待期；实际的限制是你的学习驾驶许可（learner's permit），它的有效期是两年。重考费用为 $35，你用考官给你的收据，通过邮寄申请下一次考试。
笔试练习题
《Motorist Handbook and Study Guide》（驾驶人手册与学习指南）是 C 类驾照（Class C）的官方学习材料。
拿着许可练车
练车时谁可以坐在你旁边
在你于公共道路上驾驶时，指导你的人如果受酒精或药物影响，就构成 E 级刑事犯罪（Class E crime）。
一位年满 20 岁、持有有效驾照至少 2 年的持照司机，坐在你旁边的座位上。
当你凭用作临时许可的课程结业证书（course completion certificate）驾驶时，同样的规则适用：必须有一位年满 20 岁、持照至少 2 年且持有你所驾车辆类别驾照的持照司机坐在你旁边。开车时要随身带着这份证书。
坐在你旁边的司机必须已持有有效驾照至少 2 年、年满 20 岁，并且持有你所驾车辆类别的驾照。在指导你时，他们还必须遵守自己驾照上的每一项限制。
开车时要随身带着你的学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）。坐在你旁边的持照司机必须年满 20 岁、持有有效驾照至少 2 年，并且持有你所驾车辆类别的驾照。
路考要带的东西
谁陪你去
必须有一位持照司机陪你去路考；对这个人的唯一要求是持有有效驾照。手册没有对其规定最低年龄或驾龄，也没有说明外州或外国驾照是否算数。
陪同学习驾驶许可持有人乘车的司机必须年满 20 岁、已持有有效驾照 2 年，并且持有所驾车辆类别的驾照。学习驾驶许可本身的有效期是 2 年。
路考期间，车里不允许带宠物。
路考进行时，车里只允许你和考官——陪你来的持照司机在外面等候。其他任何乘客，包括翻译或家长，都需要州务卿办公室（Secretary of State）的批准。
考试用车和保险
你自己带车，车辆须已正规注册并通过车检，并随身带上注册证明。不符合缅因州车检标准的车可能被拒绝使用。
路考用车由你自己提供。
如果你带来的车不属于你申请的类别，你可以选择改期，或者就用这辆车参加考试。如果你考了并且通过，你的驾照会按你实际使用车辆的类别核发，而不是你申请的类别。
车辆必须装备齐全、安全，并且属于你申请的类别。如果考官发现车辆装备不当或不安全，考试会被拒绝并改期到之后的日期——不算不合格。
以古董车（antique automobile）名义注册的车不能用于路考。
去哪里办
谁来主持考试
缅因州机动车管理局（Bureau of Motor Vehicles，BMV）的驾照考官会评估你能否始终控制好车辆。只有在你通过所有其他考试并满足学习许可的要求后，才会安排路考。
