Maryland lawmakers push a sweeping 256 page traffic code revision to streamline laws, unify planning, and curb vehicle deaths. Aimed at implied consent, drunken driving penalties, and broader enforcement, the package includes new terms like careless and impaired driving, a 0.10 percent BAC for impairment, and a proposal to centralize transportation budgeting under one umbrella. The effort, led by Judge S Ralph Warnken, seeks to modernize the system while preserving key elements such as a 16 year old license with training and regional vehicle inspections.
