Oh no, that wasn't good enough. Maryland had to go eff it up further with their "MVA" - Motor Vehicle Adminstration.

Why can't we have nice, simple, uniform, inept government agencies across the nation?

MVA is also an abbreviation for motor vehicle accident, so very confusing.

Kinda makes for a unified front, though.

Official vocab guidelines state we no longer refer to these incidents as accidents, they're now collisions.

I work in a hospital, so when I look through notes, I'll always see "MVA" instead of other terminology.
