LAWS OF MARYLAND

Present §11-806(d), which would appear to
require the State to submit — at each trial
of a person charged with violation of
subsection (b) of this section — proof of the
actual determination of the maximum speed by
the State Highway Administration, is deleted
as obsolete and, in subsection (b)(3) of this
section substituted with new language that
conforms to the other sections of this
subtitle dealing with special speeds.
The only other changes are in style.
Those provisions of present §11-806(a) that
prohibit towing at a speed of more than 55
m.p.h. are deleted as redundant now that the
Statewide ceiling has been lowered to 55
m.p.h. for all vehicles.
Those provisions of §11-806 (a) that govern
standards for hitches and towing procedures
now appear in §24—107 of this article.
21-807. CHARGING VIOLATIONS.
IN EACH CHARGE OF A VIOLATION OF ANY SPEED
REGULATION UNDER THE MARYLAND VEHICLE LAW, THE CHARGING
DOCUMENT SHALL SPECIFY:
(1) THE SPEED AT WHICH THE DEFENDANT IS
ALLEGED TO HAVE DRIVEN;
(2) IF THE CHARGE IS FOR EXCEEDING A MAXIMUM
LAWFUL SPEED, THE MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT APPLICABLE AT THE
LOCATION; AND
(3) IF THE CHARGE IS FOR DRIVING BELOW A
MINIMUM LAWFUL SPEED, THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT APPLICABLE
AT THE LOCATION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-807.
Present §11—807 calls for a statement of "the
maximum speed applicable". While this is
important if the charge is for exceeding that
speed, it is meaningless if the charge is for
driving below a minimum speed limit
established under §21-804(b) of this subtitle.
Accordingly, item (2) is revised to reflect
its limited applicability to a charge for
exceeding a maximum lawful speed; and item (3)
is added to apply to a charge of violating a
minimum lawful speed.
