[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting. I’ve never understood all the hate for Maryland drivers but it seems like their traffic laws might be different from the norm? Like left lane as a driving lane rather than a passing lane. Also it appears to not be a law in Maryland that when you parallel park on the side of the street, you have to park in the direction your car would be facing if you were driving on that street. When Maryland drivers park facing the wrong way in DC and Virginia, it makes them look like they were drunk when they parked. But I’m guessing it’s just not a law in Maryland?[/quote]

Parallel parking on the othe side of the street is not legal in MD either. I usually only see it in sparse residential neighborhoods so there's not much enforcement there.

The left lane _is_ a passing lane in MD (in fact, this is a question on the MD driver's exam.. I remember because it's the only question I got wrong), however MD does not have a law to make this a citable offense (VA added one a couple years ago). In MD, you can still be charged, but the charge is impeding traffic.[/quote]
