As to the referenced "exemptions", see §21—106
of this article as to emergency vehicles.
Although this section refers only to "the
United States, this State, or any political
subdivision of this State", that is not to say
that vehicles of other governments (e.g., that
of another state or county) are not subject to
the specified titles. In fact, such other
vehicles, unless otherwise exempt, are subject
to all of the provisions of the Maryland
Vehicle Law. The apparent purpose of this
section is to establish an exception to the
normal treatment accorded entities recognized
generally in this State as "sovereigns1':
although their sovereignty normally would
exempt them from the State's vehicle laws,
they nevertheless are made subject to these
particular titles. Other states and
jurisdictions, however, are not—for purposes
of the laws of this State—recognized as
"sovereigns": their vehicles would be and are
subject to all of the vehicle laws of the
State, without any need to so specify.
