do so. Accordingly, subsection (c) (8) is
added and, in subsection (f) , reference to the
form added.
The only other changes are minimal changes in
style and nomenclature; see General Re visor's
Note to this title.
As to the required contents of a citation, see
also §21—807 of this article governing
violations of speed restrictions.
The General Assembly night consider further
amending this section to require that the
citation contain, as is sometimes the
practice, a notice to the effect that a
written promise to appear is not an admission
of guilt.
As to the establishment of forms for
citations, see §26—406 of this title.
26-206. AUTHORITY OF OFFICER ON SCENE OF ACCIDENT.
EXCEPT FOR FELONIES AND THOSE OFFENSES ENUMERATED IN
§26-201 (A) (1) THROUGH (4) AND (7) OF THIS SUBTITLE, A
POLICE OFFICER AT THE SCENE OF A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT MAY
ISSUE A WRITTEN TRAFFIC CITATION, AS PROVIDED IN §26-205
OF THIS SUBTITLE, TO ANY DRIVER OF A VEHICLE INVOLVED IN
THE ACCIDENT IF, BASED ON PERSONAL INVESTIGATION, THE
POLICE OFFICER HAS REASONABLE AND PROBABLE GROUNDS TO
BELIEVE THAT THE DRIVER HAS COMMITTED AN OFFENSE UNDER
THE MARYLAND VEHICLE LAW IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACCIDENT.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §16-110.
In the introductory clause of the section, a
reference to §26-201(a)(7) is added. Present
§16-105 was amended by Ch. 534, Acts of 1970,
to add a new subsection (a)(7) — "reckless
driving" — to the list of enumerated
offenses. By inadvertence, the
cross—references in present §16—110 were not
conformed. The added reference here corrects
the oversight.
Except for required changes in nomenclature,
no other changes have been made; see General
Revisor's Note to this title.
26-207. FAILURE TO OBEY CITATION.
(A) BREACH OF PROMISE TO APPEAR PROHIBITED.
REGARDLESS OF THE DISPOSITION OF THE CHARGE FOR
WHICH THE CITATION HAS ISSUED, A PERSON MAY NOT VIOLATE
HIS WRITTEN PROMISE TO APPEAR GIVEN ON THE ISSUANCE OF A
