GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:
Throughout this subtitle, the Commission to Revise
the Annotated Code has substituted references to the
State Highway Administration for present, obsolete
references to the "State Roads Commission". This
reflects the transfer of authority established by Ch.
526, Acts of 1970. See revisor's note to §8-207 of this
article.

SUBTITLE 9. RECKLESS, NEGLIGENT, OR IMPAIRED DRIVING;
FLEEING OR ELUDING POLICE.
21-901. SCOPE OF SUBTITLE.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE APPLY THROUGHOUT
THIS STATE, WHETHER ON OR OFF A HIGHWAY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section, which is an exception
to the general rule established in §21—101.1
of this title, is new language derived without
substantive change from Art. 66 1/2,
§11-101(2).
21-901.1. RECKLESS AND NEGLIGENT DRIVING.
(A) RECKLESS DRIVING.
A PERSON IS GUILTY OF RECKLESS DRIVING IF HE DRIVES
A MOTOR VEHICLE:
(1) IN WANTON OR WILLFUL DISREGARD FOR THE
SAFETY OF PERSONS OR PROPERTY; OR
(2) IN A MANNER THAT INDICATES A WANTON OR
WILLFUL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF PERSONS OR PROPERTY.
(B) NEGLIGENT DRIVING.
A PERSON IS GUILTY OF NEGLIGENT DRIVING IF HE
DRIVES A MOTOR VEHICLE IN A CARELESS OR IMPRUDENT MANNER
THAT ENDANGERS ANY PROPERTY OR THE LIFE OR PERSON OF ANY
INDIVIDUAL.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-901.
Present references to reckless and negligent
driving as constituting a "misdemeanor" are
deleted as unnecessary in light of §27-101 of
this article.
