Running Red Light charges in Maine
A red light violation is charged when an officer or camera alleges you entered an intersection after the signal turned red. Camera-issued tickets and officer-issued tickets follow very different rules and defenses. In Maine, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Maine BMV suspension threshold of 12 points, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Running Red Light ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Defenses include challenging the yellow-light timing, whether you entered on yellow, obstructed or malfunctioning signals, and — for camera tickets — the certification, maintenance, and proof-of-driver requirements.
What's at stake in Maine
Red light convictions add points and, in camera-enforcement states, can still affect your record if not properly contested. In Maine, points accumulate toward suspension at 12 points.
Prevent insurance increases
A running red light conviction can raise Maine premiums by roughly 24% — often for three years. Fighting the ticket can prevent that.
Flat fee, no financial risk
You pay a one-time flat fee regardless of how much attorney time your case takes. If we can't match you, you pay nothing.
