Q: What are the penalties for §16-105-B1. and I'm 18 years of age
A:
I found a local Maryland attorney who explained the answer well:
"Driving on a learner’s permit without the above conditions being met can result in a charge of Holder of a Learner’s Permit Driving Without Required Supervision under TA § 16-105, which is punishable by five points and a fine of up to $500. A conviction or a probation before judgment on that charge, or on any other moving violation while you have a learner’s permit will make you ineligible to take the Maryland driving test for nine months afterward. The accumulation of five points will also result in a suspension of your license if you are under 18, and will put an adult dangerously close to accumulating 8 points, which is the level at which the MVA will attempt to suspend an adult for a point accumulation. The suspensions apply even if you only have a learner’s permit, as a learner’s permit is a form of driver’s license under Maryland law.
A conviction or probation before judgment on any moving violation, to include speeding, running a stop sign, or any other violation carrying points will stop you from taking the Maryland driver’s test for nine months.
Any suspension or point accumulation can drive up the cost of your insurance and stop you from taking the driving test, which is why it is so important for a driver on a learner’s permit to take traffic tickets seriously.
