2002 LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 27, § 576(a).
The only changes are in style.
(B) OFF-ROAD VEHICLE.
(1) "OFF-ROAD VEHICLE'' MEANS A MOTORIZED VEHICLE DESIGNED FOR
OR CAPABLE OF CROSS-COUNTRY TRAVEL ON OR IMMEDIATELY OVER LAND, WATER,
SNOW, ICE, MARSH, SWAMPLAND, OR OTHER NATURAL TERRAIN.
(2) "OFF-ROAD VEHICLE" INCLUDES:
(I) A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OR LOW-PRESSURE-TIRE VEHICLE;
(II) A MOTORCYCLE OR A RELATED TWO-WHEEL VEHICLE;
(III) AN AMPHIBIOUS MACHINE;
(IV) A GROUND-EFFECT VEHICLE; AND
(V) AN AIR-CUSHION VEHICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 576(c)(1)(ii).
The former reference to a "vehicle as defined in § 11-176 of the
Transportation Article" is revised as a separate defined term "vehicle", to
reflect more correctly the application of the term "off-road vehicle" as
formerly defined to certain on-road as well as off-road vehicles. Similarly,
the former exclusion of any "boat, military, fire or law enforcement
vehicles, ..." from the term "off-road vehicle" as formerly defined is revised
as a scope provision in each substantive provision where the term "off-road
vehicle" is used. See §§ 6-404 and 6-405 of this subtitle.
(C) VEHICLE.
"VEHICLE" HAS THE MEANING STATED IN § 11-176 OF THE TRANSPORTATION
ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 576(c)(1)(i).
Because the term "off-road vehicle" as formerly defined applied to on-road
as well as off-road vehicles, contrary to standard usage, the revision of this
subtitle uses the newly defined term "vehicle" as well as the redefined
term "off-road vehicle" in instances where the former defined term
"off-road vehicle" was used.
(D) WANTON.
"WANTON" RETAINS ITS JUDICIALLY DETERMINED MEANING,
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 27, § 576(d).
No changes are made.
