Examinations are conducted at the Glen Burnie Headquarters, at the Regional Offices in Salisbury, Cumberland, Rockville, Waldorf, and Hagerstown, and in sixteen other locations throughout the State. In addition, three mobile van testing units are now used to conduct Class A, B, and C tests at large trucking, bus, or utility facilities, including fire departments and schools. These vans are equipped to enable the examiners to conduct vision screening, written law tests, and to collect and account for the applicable fees. Safety Responsibility John H. Calhoun, Deputy Administrator Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund Henry B. Suter, Director This Division, which became a part of the Motor Vehicle Adminis- tration on July 1, 1971, provides the administrative support for the Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund Board (Code 1957, 1970 Kepi. Vol., Art. 66%, sees. 4-8, 10, 22-29, 86A, 90, 114A, 116-35, 341). Division of Financial Responsibility William C. Leyko, Director The Financial Responsibility Division processes accident reports and provides some measure of protection to all citizens against per- sonal injury or property damages arising out of motor vehicle acci- dents. All persons involved in accidents resulting in personal injuries or in property damage in excess of $100 must report the accident to the Financial Responsibility Division. Failure of an individual to re- port such accidents can result in the suspension of his driving privileges. Under recent legislation, this Division is responsible for holding a hearing., if requested, to determine whether or not there is a reason- able possibility that the uninsured motorist will be held financially responsible for damages resulting from the accident. The Motor Vehicle Administration may suspend the license and all registration plates of an uninsured motorist if it determines at the hearing that he may have been at fault, unless he can provide proof of financial responsibility by having a certified release for damages from ail persons injured 'or whose property was damaged, payment agreement, or a bond covering the amount of damages filed with the Motor Vehicle Administration. Failure to satisfy a final judgment of $100 or more can result in the suspension of a person's driving privileges, pending compliance. Division of Investigation Woodrow B. Meek, Director The Division of Investigation maintains a staff of investigators who secure the return of operators' or chauffeurs' licenses and tags from those drivers who have had their privileges revoked or suspended. These investigators also assist in determining whether or not unsafe drivers have been sufficiently rehabilitated. They also assist the Vehicle Registration Division in the regulation of automobile dealers, auto wreckers and scrap processors in Maryland. UNSATISFIED CLAIM AND JUDGMENT FUND BOARD Chairman: Paul E. DuPont, 1972 Ex officio members: Ejner J. Johnson, Motor Vehicles Administrator; Thomas J. Hatem Insurance Commissioner. |
