Q. ticket for driving with suspended registration due to missing smog check in Maryland

February 13, 2023

A: I've never heard of a "smog check." However, if you're referring to a suspended registration due to allegedly failing to have a timely vehicle emissions test, the only way to contest the ticket is to appear in court and provide evidence proving your defense. If you feel the time and effort and not worth your while, you can pay the ticket, which is a non-moving violation - but get your vehicle inspected right away to avoid another purportedly clerical error that can result in a duplicate charge.

Q. My car was involved in a hit and run in 2021 can I still sue

October 24, 2022

A: In short, yes. If you know the identity of the driver, you can sue the responsible party within three (3) years, per Maryland's statute of limitations. If you do not know the identity of the driver and can satisfy your own insurance carrier (usually through the production of a police report corroborating the occurrence) you can also file an "uninsured motorists" claim against your own insurance policy. If your carrier denies your claim, you can also file a breach of contract action against your own carrier within three (3) years for refusal to honor your "UM" claim.

Q. Good morning! "Title 21, Subtitle 7 Transportation Article Maryland State Law, Transportation Article 21-706

August 25, 2022

A: You have not posted a question. However, if the camera was able to record the front of your vehicle and its license plate, that evidence might refute your contention that you had already passed the front of the bus before its signs/signals were activated. Payment of the fine is tantamount to guilty plea and the assessment of 3 pts on your driving record, so you may want to request a trial to assess that evidence, offer some statement in mitigation of sentence, or plead not guilty if insufficient evidence of the offense is presented to the court.
