lawn tractor "while being used for its designed purpose" is added for
clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to the defined term "vehicle"
is added to reflect the correction of usage of the former defined term
"off-road vehicle", which included on-road as well as off-road vehicles.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "operat[ing]"
an off-road vehicle is deleted as included in the reference to "us[ing]" a
vehicle or off-road vehicle.
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that it is not clear whether subsection (b) of this
section is intended to allow the use of either a 'Vehicle" or an "off-road
vehicle" on a clearly designated private driveway, without the permission
of the property owner or tenant. The General Assembly may wish to
address this issue in clarifying legislation.
