Beginning October 1, 2013, Maryland police will be able to stop drivers for hand-held cell phone use. Fines for first-time violators will increase from $40 to $75 and then as much as on a graduated scale for multiple offenses. Also all passengers in a motor vehicle will be required to wear a seat belt because of a Maryland Senate bill signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley. Fines also increase from $25 to $50.
I'm so glad we moved to FL!

ReplyDeleteDriving and talking on a cell phone is more then most Marylanders can handle. Fines should be tripled.
ReplyDeleteI can see it now; State police pulling over County who was pulling over a City cop, all while on their cellphones! Have you ever driven past a cop who was NOT on the phone?????
ReplyDeletefireman and vol. firemen should be exempt too!
ReplyDeleteExcellent law - cell phone drivers are dangerous!
ReplyDelete7:04 is right, especially in MD. Even worse are women doing their makeup while drinking starbucks and flicking ashes out the window simultaneously.
