 Vehicle Law of Maryland. The competitors will read 

 the extract carefully and then answer the questions 

 by writing the answer to each question in the blank 

 space provided, inserting the number of the paragraph 

 where each answer is found. The competitors may

 the questions. 



Paragraph i. No person shall operate a motor vehi- 

 cle upon any highway of this state until he first shall 

 have obtained a license for the purpose. The commis- 

 sioner shall require an actual demonstration of the 

 qualifications of the person applying for such license, 

 and, in addition, may refuse to issue the same if, in 

 his judgment, the esafty of the public would be jeop- 

 ardized thereby, but said applicant shall have the right 

 of appeal if license is refused, as provided elsewhere in 

 this subtitle. 



Paragraph 2. Any person desiring to receive a 

 chauffeur's or motor vehicle operator's license shall 

 first obtain an examination permit or an instruction 

 license upon paying the sum of one dollar to the Com- 

 missioner of Motor Vehicles, which such instruction 

 license shall entitle the person to whom it is issued to 

 operate a motor vehicle only when accompanied by a 

 regularly licensed operator, for a period of thirty days 

 from the date of its issue, at which time it shall expire 

 and become void. At or before the expiration of the 

 thirty-day period, persons licensed to receive instruc- 

 tions and desiring to obtain an operator's or chauffeur's 

 license must apply in person to the Commissioner of 

 Motor Vehicles, or one of his deputies, at the Baltimore 

 office of the said commissioner, or any of the places 

 throughout the state which the commissioner may 

 designate for the convenience of applicants. Upon 

 surrendering the instruction license and undergoing a 

 satisfactory examination as to his qualifications, such 

 person shall be entitled to receive the license applied 

 for upon the payment of the fees provided by Section 

 144 of this subtitle. 



Paragraph 3. Applications for licenses shall be made 

 upon blanks furnished by said commissioner, and said 

 application blanks and said licenses shall be in such 

 form and contain such provisions, not inconsistent with 

 the subtitle, as said commissioner may determine. A 

 number shall be assigned to each license and a proper 

 record of all applications for licenses and of all licenses 

 issued shall be kept by said commissioner at his office 

 and shall be open to public inspection. 



Paragraph 4. Each license shall state the name, age, 

 postoffice address of the licensee and the number 

 assigned to him, and shall entitle the licensee to oper- 

 ate any car of any make, unless otherwise specified 

 thereon. Said license certificate shall at all times be 

 carried by the licensee when he is operating a motor 

 vehicle upon the highways of this State, and shall be 



subject to examination upon demand by any officer 

 of the law; and said license shall have endorsed thereon 

 in the proper handwriting of the licensee the name of 

 said licensee, and when requested by proper officer, in 

 the discharge of his duties under the law, said licensee 

 shall write his name in the presence of the said officer, 

 to the end that the identity of said licensee may be 

 determined; provided that no operator of a motor 

 vehicle shall be stopped by any officer of the law for 

 the sole purpose of exhibiting his operator's license. 

 No license badge shall be worn. 



Paragraph 5. No person, whether resident or non- 

 resident of the State, under sixteen years, shall operate 

 a motor vehicle upon any road, highway, street, lane 

 or other public way within the State of Maryland. No 

 person under the age of sixteen years, whether resident 

 or non-resident, shall operate, drive or direct any motor- 

 cycles, as aforesaid; provided that persons between the 

 age of fourteen and sixteen years, in the discretion of 

 the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, may obtain 

 licenses to operate bicycles with motor attachments. 



Paragraph 6. It shall be unlawful to obtain or 

 attempt to obtain license by misrepresentation, or to 

 use or permit the use of a license by any person other 

 than the one to whom it was issued, or to change the 

 name of the licenses or the date or age or any other 

 information appearing upon any license issued by the 

 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. 



Paragraph 7. Any person violating any provision of 

 this section, or any owner-operator, or person in charge 

 of a motor vehicle who shall cause or permit the opera- 

 tion of such motor vehicle in violation of any provision 

 of this section, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, 

 and upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not less 

 than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars 

 for the first offense; provided that the minimum fine 

 in the case of a person to whom an operator's license 

 has been duly issued, but who through inadvertence 

 has not the same with him at the time of his arrest, 

 shall be one dollar instead of ten dollars as above 

 provided.
