The enforcement side is real for Salisbury drivers: Driving uninsured is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $1,000, five points, and up to one year in prison; separately, the MVA assesses administrative fees of $150 for the first 30 days of an insurance lapse and $7 for each additional day, plus a $25 registration restoration fee (MD Criminal Law; ValuePenguin). (source: Maryland MVA; MD Criminal Law; ValuePenguin, Maryland Vehicle Law, Transportation Article, Title 17 (Required Security) and Insurance Article Title 19).

Local risk worth knowing: State Farm's 2025 animal collision study puts Maryland drivers' odds of hitting a deer or other animal at 1 in 115, ranking the state 24th nationally (State Farm data reported by Patch). For Salisbury drivers this is a comprehensive-coverage question — worth raising on the call.
What this means for coverage starts with the driving itself:
Baltimore drives the Beltway, the JFX down into downtown, and the harbor tunnels, which have carried extra weight since the Key Bridge came down. Row-house neighborhoods from Dundalk to Hampden make street parking a contact sport, with sideswipes and mirror clips a routine claim. Bay Bridge backups shape every summer weekend for Annapolis and shore-bound drivers, and Harrisburg and York commuters know I-83's quirks on both sides of the line. Freeze-thaw potholes, ice on bridge decks, and vehicle break-ins keep both collision and comprehensive coverage working. Hit-and-runs in dense neighborhoods make UM protection worth genuine attention, and a local agent can explain Maryland's requirements clearly.
Around 28.0% of Salisbury commuters spend 30 minutes or more each way getting to work. More time on the road means more liability exposure — one reason licensed professionals often walk long-commute drivers through limits above Maryland's minimum rather than stopping at the legal floor.
Roughly 12.4% of Salisbury households keep no vehicle at all. If that's you but you still drive — borrowed cars, car-share, or an SR-22 requirement after a suspension — a non-owner policy covers liability without insuring a specific vehicle. It's one of the most misunderstood products in Maryland, and exactly what the referral line is for.

No — 'full coverage' is shorthand for liability plus comprehensive and collision. Maryland law only mandates the liability floor; lenders typically require the rest on financed vehicles in Salisbury.
