Read the paperwork you should have received. It will spell out what is required of you.

It typically 'restrains' (forbids) you from having contact with someone or some place or requiring you to maintain a certain distance between you and them/it.

It would be MOST unusual for it to have any effect on your drivers license.

The person being restrained may not like it, but there are typically certain court ordered restrictions on their actions toward the person who asked for the order. Usually not coming with certain distances of them - calling them on the phone - making ANY kind of contact with them - etc - etc. The orders are tailored to fit the situation.

A typical restraining order is a Court order that prohibits contact between one individual and another. It is usually brought about by a vicitm of domestic abuse and the order prohibits the defendant from having any contact whether direct or indirect with the victim. In Maine a restraining order usually starts with the Court issuing a temporary order on the basis of the complaint for the restraining order. Since the temporary order is granted only off of the Plaintiff's allegations, it only lasts for 21 days, or until the final hearing is held, whichever is first. After the hearing the Court can issue a final order that lasts significantly longer. In Maine it can be up to two years.
