Description
The General Assembly, mindful of the safety of persons in this State and heedful of the general welfare, has acted to deter a person who has consumed alcohol from driving a vehicle on the highways of Maryland. There are criminal consequences and administrative consequences. In the two September Term, 1975 appeals which we decide in this opinion, John H. Major, Jr. v. State, No. 998, and James William Flanagan v. State, No. 1030, we are concerned with the criminal consequences of drunken driving. The appeals pose, in different factual postures, a common question: may a person be convicted of driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in the absence of evidence showing the alcoholic content in his body according to chemical analysis made pursuant to tests prescribed by statute?
