[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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, [b]was on a bridge [/b]and hit that high momentarily as was passing another car. [/quote] Which bridge? [/quote]

I'll bet it was Michigan Avenue.

And yes, in Brookland there has been increased enforcement and ticket writing since a little girl was killed in a crosswalk last year.

People drive like Michigan Avenue is a race track when it's actually a residential street with many schools along it.[/quote]

Not possible.  There are too many lights and stop signs to get to that speed. And where were all the other cars that would have prevented OP from making that speed on active Michigan Avenue[/quote]

I was thinking either NY Ave, Connecticut Ave, or whitehurst freeway. If there’s no other cars around, I bet you could get up to 54 on those. [/quote]
