REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) through (f) of this
section presently appear as Art. 66 1/2,
§14-107. Subsection (g) of this section is
new language derived without substantive
change from the last sentence of Art. 66 1/2,
§11-806(a).
In subsection (e) of this section, the term
"towed vehicle" is substituted for the
apparently unintentionally limited reference
to a "motor vehicle" being towed.
The only other changes are in style.
