The Driving Record and the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration
Convictions are reported by the court to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, which keeps the driving record and decides on points and suspensions. Order the driving record from that agency, not from the court.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
