Improper Turn charges in Maine
An improper turn covers turning from the wrong lane, without signaling, or against posted restrictions. It is a catch-all maneuver violation that is often subjective. In Maine, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Maine BMV suspension threshold of 12 points, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.

What's at stake in Maine
