Bourne: Where the Cape Begins

Bourne is the town on the mainland side of the Cape Cod Canal, and it is the first Cape town drivers reach after the Bourne Bridge. It includes Buzzards Bay village, Monument Beach, Pocasset, Cataumet, Gray Gables and Bournedale, as well as Sagamore on the canal. Many Bourne residents commute off Cape or work seasonally, which makes appointments by video, often in the evening or between shifts, especially useful.

 

Because OUI cases arising in Bourne are heard at Falmouth District Court rather than a court closer to the canal, Bourne drivers sometimes work with Falmouth attorneys. We coordinate with your attorney wherever they practice.

 

Local Courts and RMV Offices for Bourne Drivers

Form MAB118 is handled by RMV Medical Affairs, which reviews completed forms centrally rather than through a local office. The nearest RMV Service Centers listed by the RMV are in South Yarmouth and Plymouth. Hearings for suspensions are held by phone.

 

A Medical Affairs request is separate from any court case. You can be asked for this evaluation even if you have never been charged with anything.

 

What Is the RMV Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118)?

RMV Medical Affairs requests a Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118) when it has received a report, from a health care provider or law enforcement official, suggesting that a driver may have a psychiatric or medical condition affecting their ability to drive safely. It is a different requirement from the substance abuse evaluation with risk of recidivism: it is not tied to an OUI or DUI case.

 

Massachusetts requires the form to be completed by a physician licensed in the state or a psychiatric nurse practitioner, which are the credential types on our clinical team.

 

How the Process Works

  1. Check your notice. Read the request you received from RMV Medical Affairs and note any deadline it gives.

  2. Complete the quick form. Include any deadline on your notice and your attorney's name if you have one.

  3. Meet with your clinician. By secure video, or in person at our Medway office.

  4. We submit the completed form to RMV Medical Affairs.

 

Turnaround: in as little as 48 hours when your deadline is close. Tell us your date and we'll prioritize accordingly.
