Laws regarding off-road vehicles being operated on roadways and private property; St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office to begin issuing citations

Laws regarding off-road vehicles being operated on roadways and private property; St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office to begin issuing citations 
The change of weather has caused an increase of illegally operated off-road vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, and similar vehicles being operated throughout St. Mary’s County on roadways, private property, and in residential areas. These vehicles pose a considerable safety threat to riders and residents, whether on the public or private property.
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office has investigated over 545 complaints since 2015 and responded to nearly 300 traffic calls for service involving off-road vehicles. The Sheriff’s Office will begin issuing citations to offenders and increase parent responsibility for juvenile riders. The Sheriff’s Office wants to ensure citizens are familiar with the laws regarding requirements for off-road vehicles being operated on roadways and private property not owned by the rider.
The Sheriff’s Office is working in concert with the State’s Attorney Richard Fritz on this initiative.
The difference between motor vehicles and off-highway recreational vehicles, as defined by Maryland Vehicle Law:
Maryland vehicle law defines motor vehicles as vehicles that are self-propelled or propelled by electric power obtained from overhead electrical wires and are not operated on rails. Under this definition, off-highway recreational vehicles (three wheeler, pocket bike, golf cart, four-wheeler, utility vehicle/side by side)  are not considered motor vehicles.
For purposes of Maryland Vehicle Law only, off-highway recreational vehicles means a motor vehicle that is
 1. motor-assisted or motor-driven
(i)               is designed to carry only the operator of the vehicle on a seat or saddle designed to be to be straddled by the operator or is designed to carry only the operator of the vehicle and one passenger;
(ii)              Is commonly known as an all-terrain vehicle, three wheeler, pocket bike, golf cart, four-wheeler, utility vehicle, also knows as a side by side.
2. A motorcycle that is designed for off-highway operation  and is not eligible for registration as a Class D (motorcycle) vehicle under this article, commonly knows as a dirtbike;
3. Snowmobile
The following is information regarding where off-road vehicles can and can not be driven:
  • Any vehicle that is not registered in the state of Maryland may not be driven on Maryland highways. Maryland vehicle law defines highways as the entire width between the boundary line of any way or thoroughfare of which any part is used by the public for vehicular travel, whether or not the way or thoroughfare has been dedicated to the public and accepted by any proper authority. This means off-road vehicles are for use on PRIVATE PROPERTY only, with the permission of the owner/agent. According to Maryland Vehicle Law, they cannot be operated on public sidewalks, public roads, streets or highways.

In addition to any other traffic violations observed, the following are a list of Maryland Transportation Article Charges that one could face if observed operating an off-road vehicle contrarily to the law.

  • 13 402 by – Driving unregistered motor vehicle - $290/0 points

  • 16 101 a –  (Driving, Attempting to Drive) motor vehicle on highway without required license and authorization – *Must Appear/5 Points

  • 16 101 b – Operating a (moped, motor scooter) on the highway without required license or permit – *Must Appear/5 Points. Although, “motor assisted” and “motor driven,” a moped and motor scooter can be operated on the highway if the operator has a valid license or a moped permit obtained through the MVA.

  • Knowingly permitting (child, ward) under 15 to drive motor vehicle on Highway – $290/5 points

  • 17 107 – Driving Uninsured Vehicle – *Must Appear/5 points

  • An individual operating an off-road vehicle will run the risk of having their ATV towed and stored by the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.
*A person issued a MUST APPEAR CITATION will receive a court date in the mail and must see the judge; there is no pre-set fine.
Anyone with additional questions is asked to contact our Traffic Safety Unit at 301-863-4816, ext *1456 or by email, Brian.Connelly@stmarysmd.com.

St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office Stands with the 12th Aviation Battalion

Though the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office was one of the first responders on Monday, when the UH-60 Black Hawk crashed, we have remained silent. We have chosen to do so out of respect for the investigation, the United States Army and the friends and family of the victim and the other crew members.
This was not our story to tell.
Tuesday evening, the U.S. Army Military District of Washington released the names of those involved in the incident. At this time, we feel it is appropriate to send our deepest condolences to everyone who has been affected by the terrible tragedy which took place on April 17, when a UH-60 Black Hawk crashed during a routine training flight.

We send our deepest prayers to the family, friends and fellow soldiers of Spc. Jeremy Darrell Tomlin, of the 12th Aviation Battalion, who died during the aircraft crash. We are also keeping Chief Warrant Officer Christopher Nicholas, a pilot, and Capt. Terikazu Onoda, Charlie Company commander, in our prayers as well.

We wish to publicly recognize the acts of kindness and selflessness exhibited in the wake of the crash.

We praise our community members who reacted quickly and administered lifesaving efforts as soon as the crash occurred. These individuals selflessly ran to assist before police and Emergency Service Units arrived on scene. We are thinking of the community’s Fire and Rescue Personnel, in addition to our deputies – especially Corporal Kirkner – who arrived and helped to extricate the crew members from the crash. And to our deputies and detectives who worked tirelessly through the night to preserve and protect the scene.

The Sheriff’s Office thanks, those individuals who brought commodities to those at the scene, the Breton Bay Golf Course for their assistance and hospitality and Eddie Bailey for providing food and drink throughout the evening.

Finally, the entire Breton Bay Community has gone above and beyond to show their support and offer condolences to the 12th Aviation Battalion and the United States Army by hanging American flags on the poles leading to the crash site.

We are proud to be members of the community we serve as we all stand with the 12th Aviation Battalion.

The Breton Bay Community has gone above and beyond to show their support and offer condolences to the 12th Aviation Battalion and the United States Army by hanging American flags on the poles leading to the crash site.
