Which traffic law violation results in an automatic 90-day suspension upon conviction?

Street racing is a serious traffic violation that creates significant risks for both the participants and other road users. In Maine, it is treated with particular severity due to the potential for accidents, injuries, and fatalities. When an individual is convicted of street racing, the laws are designed to impose strict penalties as a deterrent to this dangerous behavior.

The 90-day suspension of driving privileges serves several purposes: it emphasizes the seriousness of the offense, aims to reduce reckless driving, and promotes safer driving habits among all motorists. This harsh penalty reflects the state’s commitment to maintaining road safety and discouraging illegal racing activities, which can lead to severe consequences for both drivers and others on the road.
