[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cop gave me a ticket yesterday for hitting 54 in what is apparently now a 25. Good reminder it is no longer pandemic and need to slow down. Have been driving in DC for over a decade and never even been pulled over or given a ticket. Cop mentioned arresting me no less than 3 times. WTF? Any advice on what to do if you are arrested in a situation like this? Why would they do this? Gave me a $500 ticket and let me go, acting like he was doing me a favor. And no, was not speeding near any pedestrians, was on a bridge and hit that high momentarily as was passing another car. [/quote]

Unless otherwise posted the speed limit is 25. I live in DC and going 32 will get you a ticket. Downtown is really tough with the new bike lanes. You have to watch in the streets for cars, trucks, busses, groups of motorcycles, scooters, electric bikes, bikes, skaters, runners, and walkers. It’s is crazy. Between the walkers who put their head down and walk in to the street thinking the crosswalk protects them and the cyclists weaving through traffic it is very hard to go above 30. You will injury and kill someone. I have seen a lot of very close calls lately.

It seems the walkers and cyclists have become more aggressive appearing where you do not except them. [/quote]
