Island Law: License and registration

I am Deputy George Bradbury. I work for the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. I am a resident of Harpswell. I live and work among you.

Your monthly warning

The fine for failure to produce evidence of insurance is $160.

The fine for failure to register your vehicle between 30 and 150 days after expiration is $85.

The fine for operating with an expired license up to 90 days after expiration is $152. After 90 days, it becomes a criminal offense.

Did you know that you need your insurance card to register your vehicle? You also need to register your vehicle before it can pass inspection. While you’re renewing your insurance and registration, you should also check your license to see when it expires.

Pop quiz

While winter is still with us, I would like to give you all a pop quiz.

Q: What is the suggested speed limit in inclement weather?

A: SLOW!

We are lucky to have the R.A. Webber crew taking care of our roads. The best thing we can do for them during storms is stay off the roads so they can do their jobs!

Remember, let’s be safe out there! And don’t get voted off the islands.

The views above are those of Deputy George Bradbury, not of the town of Harpswell or the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
