REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §6-205.1.
Throughout this section, the phrase "while
intoxicated" is substituted for the obsolete
"while under the influence of intoxicating
liquor". See §21-902 of this article.
In subsection (a) of this section, the simple
term "certification" is substituted for the
present "statement under oath". See §12-109
of this article.
Subsection (b)(3) of this section is revised
to clarify that it is the "detaining police
officer" who must advise the driver of the
stated facts.
