Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Maryland

If the collar Limits your ability to look behind and to both sides and/or does not allow you to turn your head, then it would not be legal to drive with the collar.

Below are relevant sections of the MVA driving rules for your reference:

Turning

Safe turning requires planning:

Make up your mind well in advance of reaching the turning

point. Last minute decisions often cause crashes.

Move into the proper lane well before you need to make the turn.

The faster the traffic flows, the sooner you should get into the

proper lane.

Look behind you and to both sides. Signal your intention as

required by law before changing lanes.

Slow down to a reasonable turning speed but do so gradually.

The only exception is when you are leaving an interstate or other

limited access highway (see interstate and other limited-access

highways in this chapter).

Make the turn according to the law.

Backing

Backing a motor vehicle requires skill and good judgment. Under

certain conditions, it is safe to back up only with a person outside

the vehicle to guide you. In most conditions, it is safe to back up

provided you turn your head and look back and to both sides. Don�t

depend on the one rearview mirror alone.
