So as a city compared to state rather than cities, that's pretty awful actually. And our closest state is also pretty awful, no surprise considering majority of fines from traffic cams are MD drivers barreling through our city without repercussions. This basically supports the assertion that DC has awful drivers. If you click on the New York (city) subdivision within NY, it's the same number of pedestrian deaths as DC (10) though NYC is vastly more populated than DC.

So in conclusion, drivers in DC are awful.[/quote]

Um.

21 pedestrians killed in the Bronx (Bronx County). 81 pedestrians killed in Queens (Queens County). 47 pedestrians killed in Brooklyn (Kings County). 85 pedestrians killed in Staten Island (Richmond County). And 10 pedestrians killed in Manhattan (New York County). Total: 244 pedestrians killed in New York City in 2020.[/quote]

Fine. So then do the rate per population. DC still higher. 18 million people live in NYC. not even 700k in DC.

As stated, DC drivers are worse than NYC drivers.[/quote]
