Maryland Driving Tips

I like a lot of things about Maryland but the way people drive around here is NOT one of them. Most of these are illegal in this state and the others are just common sense and courtesy.
  • Motorists must not use a cell phone while driving.
  • Do not tailgate. Allow one foot between your car and the one in front of you for every mile you are going. That is, it’s a one-to-one ratio.
  • Drivers should yield the right-of-way to other drivers and pedestrians.
  • Do not drive aggressively.
  • Drivers should not run down pedestrians in crosswalks.
  • Drivers do not have the right of way when making a right on red if the driver making the left has the green light.
  • Pedestrians should not walk behind moving cars (e.g., when the driver is backing out of a parking spot).
  • Drivers should not switch lanes in the middle of a turn.
  • People should not throw trash, cigarettes etc. out of their car window while driving.
  • People should not park in front of the ATM no parking zone when the parking lot has enough parking spots.
  • Drivers should turn on the turn-signal indicator before they get into the turn lane.
