Maryland Auto License Reexamination Proposal Faces Opposition
The Grand Jury of Baltimore City urges re-examination of all operators as a safety measure while the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles pushes for a 15 cent per person fee and a $1 charge. The Automobile Club of Maryland favors weeding out dead licenses and argues against motorist taxation for re-examination. They doubt the elderly are the primary risk and oppose broad re-testing without proven need. A bill to clear dead licenses without extra motorist costs could gain support, but broad re-examination is opposed.
