[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not clear to me why DC doesn't go gung-ho on booting and towing cars with tons of fines - especially if the car has MD or VA plates.

Take those cars to Blue Plains and have the drivers pay off their balance to get the car back. Can't pay? The vehicle goes up for auction.

The DC government is loath to actually enforce any of its traffic laws. That's why you're seeing traffic fatalities rise - bad drivers go unpunished and don't get their keys taken away. [/quote]

As proven 3 pages ago, we are emphatically NOT seeing traffic fatalities increase in the District [/quote]

that’s a lie - fatalities in 2023 sharply increased.

Automobile deaths due to speeding have been demonstrated to have remained constant. The citation is a few pages ago.  We are talking about speeding And speed cameras. And those deaths haven’t gone up. It’s disingenuous to conflate texting and driving drunk driving driving while high and everything else. Which is what that link shows[/quote]

You have a weird fixation about this. As though speed were a completely separate issue from distracted driving and drunk driving. As though you can only speed OR drive distracted OR drive drunk, it's not possible to do multiple bad things at once.[/quote]
