In an effort to promote awareness of state traffic laws, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office posts excerpts of the 2018-2019 edition of The Maryland Vehicle Law Annotated on Tuesdays.

Adhering to the law will make roadways in St. Mary’s County and in Maryland safer for drivers, passengers, bicyclists, horse-and-buggy operators and pedestrians.

#TrafficTipTuesdays

Passing on the right:

Passing on the shoulder while another vehicle is making a left turn became legal in Maryland in 2017.

Sec. 21-304 “The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only:

-If the overtaken vehicle is making or about to make a left turn

-On a highway with unobstructed pavement not occupied by parked vehicles and wide enough for two or more lines of vehicles moving lawfully in the same direction as the overtaking vehicle

-On any one-way roadway, if the roadway is free from obstruction and wide enough for two more lines of moving vehicles.”

Further, “the driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle to the right only if it is safe to do so.”

A driver may not leave the roadway to pass on the right.

Sgt. Todd Fleenor and canine teams in the United Arab Emirates


Sgt. Todd Fleenor, K-9 Unit Supervisor of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, recently trained and certified several canine teams in the United Arab Emirates.

Sgt. Fleenor is a Master Canine Trainer for the International Police Work Dog Association. That organization requested that Sgt. Fleenor travel to the UAE to certify 15 canine teams in the area of narcotics detection for the country’s Federal Customs Authority. It is a new program for the country and its officials requested an evaluation and certification of the initiative.

For three days, Sgt. Fleenor conducted narcotics certifications in the areas of building searches, vehicle searches and open-area searches. He also toured the canine center and was given a detailed presentation of the plans and expectations of their program.

After completing certifications and evaluations, Sgt. Fleenor presented information from the International Police Work Dog Association, the narcotics certification and suggestions on how to improve the UAE’s program.

“I am very proud of Sgt. Fleenor and our entire Sheriff’s Office K-9 team,” Sheriff Tim Cameron said. “The men and women of our unit demonstrate excellence on both the national and international stage and I am very pleased that we can share our expertise across the globe.”

On Feb. 7, 2019 at 8:09 p.m., St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to a motor vehicle collision involving a single vehicle into a tree. Units arrived on the scene to find a Ford Focus had left the roadway and struck a tree, trapping the driver. Fire and EMS personnel removed the driver from the vehicle and the St. Mary’s County Collision Reconstruction Unit members were called to the scene.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2009 Ford Focus, operated by Kyle Andrew Capps, 20 of Mechanicsville, was traveling southbound on Thompsons Corner Road. The vehicle had just negotiated a sharp curve in the area of Bethel Church Road when the operator lost control of the vehicle. The car crossed the centerline and ran off the northbound edge of the road where it struck a tree, trapping the driver inside.

The driver was transported from the scene to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital in Leonardtown and then transferred to Washington Hospital Center for further treatment.

At this time, speed appears to be a contributing factor in the collision. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or events leading up to the crash are asked to contact Cpl. Brian Connelly at 301-475-4200, ext. *8031 or email brian.connelly@stmarysmd.com.

In an effort to promote awareness of state traffic laws, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office posts excerpts of the 2018-2019 edition of The Maryland Vehicle Law Annotated on Tuesdays.

Adhering to the law will make roadways in St. Mary’s County and in Maryland safer for drivers, passengers, bicyclists, horse-and-buggy operators and pedestrians.

#TrafficTipTuesdays

Avoiding a Traffic-Control Device:

Sec. 21-201.(a)(2) Traffic Signs, Signals and Markings

“The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection controlled by a traffic-control device may not drive across private property or leave the roadway for the purpose of avoiding the instructions of a traffic-control device.”

This illegal driving behavior is sometimes observed on northbound Three Notch Road (Route 235) during the evening commute.

The fine for avoiding a traffic-control device is $90 and one point assessed on a driver’s license or $130 and three points if contributing to an accident.
