Certain changes have been introduced to Maine drunk driving penalties after the state passed some new dui laws in 2010. As per the new laws, people who committed second or third dui offence before September 1, 2008 can apply to get their license suspension terminated, but it will be mandatory for them to get an ignition interlock device installed in all those vehicles that they operate. It means, their driving license may again be suspended if they are found to be driving a vehicle without this device.
