DIVISION OF INVESTIGATIVE
SERVICES
Lt. Col. John Satterfield, Director
The Division of Investigative Services maintains
a staff of investigators who secure the return of
operators' licenses and tags from those drivers
who have had their privileges revoked or sus-
pended. These investigators also assist in deter-
mining whether or not unsafe drivers have been
sufficiently rehabilitated. They also assist the Ve-
hicle Registration Division in the regulation of
automobile dealers, auto wreckers, and scrap
processors in Maryland.
Another important duty is to retrieve automo-
bile tags of uninsured motorists who fail to ob-
tain automobile liability insurance when their pol-
icy has been terminated.

sion, revocation, and restriction of driving

John H. Calhoun, Deputy Administrator
DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AD-
JUDICATION
Joseph Lupinek, Director
This Division consists of hearing officers who
conduct administrative hearings to determine the

appropriate action that the Administration should
take against errant drivers, business firms, and
others that are licensed by this Administration
and that have violated the laws pertaining to
their operation in Maryland.
DIVISION OF FINANCIAL RESPONSI-
BILITY
Agnes Stoicos, Director
The prime function of the Financial Responsi-
bility Division is the enforcement of compulsory
insurance. Under the cuiiipulsury insurance law,
all Maryland licensed insurance companies are re-
quired to notify the Motor Vehicle Administra-
tion of cancellations or terminations of liability
insurance policies as well as excluded drivers.
This Division is required to maintain an active
file with the names of all uninsured motorists re-
quired to recertify the statutory minimum motor
vehicle liability requirements. Their failure to
present the required evidence of insurance results
in the suspension of vehicle tags.
In addition to the enforcement of the compul-
sory insurance law, this Division receives motor
vehicle accident reports from motorists involved
in accidents that have resulted in personal injury
or property damage in excess of $100 that have
not been investigated by police authorities.
DIVISION OF DRIVER CONTROL
Leonard W. Kestler, Director
This Division comprises the Driver Review and
Reinstatement Section, the Driver Rehabilitation
Section, and the Alcohol Safety and Action Pro-
gram. The Rehabilitation Clinic was established
in 1962 to improve the attitudes of problem
drivers. It consists of four two-hour sessions held
at Glen Burnie or the regional offices.
The Driver Review and Reinstatement Pro-
gram was established to assist further in rehabil-
itating unsafe drivers and in identifying persons
who demonstrate dangerous attitudes about
driving. Based on hearings held for errant
drivers, license reviewers recommend administra-
tive action regarding an individual's driving
privileges.
The Division is assisted by the Medical Advi-
sory Board, which consists of twenty-five
physicians appointed by the Motor Vehicle Ad-
ministrator to advise him on the medical aspects
of driver licensing. Whenever an individual's
physical or mental condition may affect his
