Why: Marijuana is a depressant that slows down the central nervous system, resulting in delayed responses. Therefore, it causes slower reaction times, not faster ones.
Why: After alcohol, marijuana is the second most common drug found in drivers involved in collisions. It severely affects coordination and reaction time, making driving dangerous.
Why: Violating Maryland's Move Over Law when no one is injured results in a $110 fine and one point on your license. This law requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when approaching emergency vehicles or service vehicles with flashing lights.
Why: If your license is suspended, revoked, or canceled, you are legally required to return the physical card to the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). You cannot simply keep it or destroy it yourself; the MVA needs to process the surrender.
Why: Maryland law strictly prohibits drivers from using a cell phone if they are holding it in their hand. You are only permitted to make calls or use the device if it is in a hands-free mode.
