An officer requests proof of financial responsibility during an applicable traffic stop. May a driver show a valid electronic image of the proof on a phone?
Correct answer: Yes; Maine allows electronic proof, and displaying it does not authorize a search of unrelated phone contents.
Maine allows evidence of financial responsibility in electronic form. This permission concerns proof, not general consent to access the device's other information.

A crash on a public road causes no injury but apparently requires $2,000 in property repairs. What reporting duty applies?
Correct answer: Immediately notify a police officer by the quickest means of communication.
Apparent property damage of $2,000 or more meets Maine's reportable-crash threshold. The driver's notice duty is immediate; it is not the officer's later written-report deadline.

A crash causes an injury but little visible vehicle damage. Must it be reported promptly?
Correct answer: Yes; injury makes it reportable regardless of whether property damage reaches $2,000.
Injury or death is an independent reporting trigger. The property-damage threshold does not limit that duty.

After a crash, the scene is protected and emergency help has been called. An injured person is not exposed to fire or another immediate danger. What should you do?
Correct answer: Avoid unnecessary movement of the injured person and provide appropriate assistance while help comes.
Unnecessary movement can worsen an injury. Arrange help, protect against additional danger, and exchange required information without trying to replace trained medical assistance.

You have trouble remembering the last few miles and repeatedly drift toward the lane edge. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop driving at a safe place and rest or arrange another driver.
Memory gaps and lane drift are warning signs of dangerous fatigue. Temporary stimulation is not a dependable substitute for sleep.

Another driver gestures angrily and follows too closely. What is the safest response?
Correct answer: Avoid engaging, create space when possible, and let the driver go ahead.
Responding competitively can escalate the danger. Concentrate on a safe path and avoid gestures or driving actions intended to punish the other driver.

An adult passenger has a usable seat belt in the rear of an ordinary passenger car and no exemption applies. Does sitting in the rear make belt use optional?
Correct answer: No; the adult passenger must be properly secured by the belt.
The ordinary adult seat-belt requirement is not limited to the front seat. Rear seating, low speed and the driver's belt do not replace the passenger's restraint.

You start an allergy medicine labeled as causing drowsiness. What should you do before driving?
Correct answer: Read the warnings and ask a doctor or pharmacist if unsure whether it is safe to drive; do not drive impaired.
Prescription and nonprescription medicines can affect driving. A legal purchase does not establish that a medicine is safe for the driving task.

After safely stopping for a police officer, what should you do while the officer approaches?
Correct answer: Stay in the vehicle with your belt on and hands visible; ask before reaching for items.
The handbook advises remaining seated, keeping hands visible and avoiding unexpected movements. At night, an interior light can help the officer see the occupants.
