[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a ploy to get VA and MD to come to the negotiating table and introduce reciprocity for traffic tickets issued in DC.

MD and VA does not enforce payment of DC-issued camera tickets on its drivers. So MD and VA drivers can rack up thousands of dollars in tickets and not pay a dime. Nor will it affect the driver's insurance rates.

However, DC can impose points on drivers of other states. That will get the attention of MD and VA residents, plus their elected officials.

Carrot and stick, folks. That's all this is.[/quote]

What would MD & VA get out of reciprocity with DC???? It seems like DC needs the reciprocity not MD & VA. And you can’t assess driving points on out of state drivers if there’s no reciprocity and a comparable traffic law in the driver’s state.[/quote]

Right, so why should we give deference to suburban commuters on our roads when the break our laws and drive recklessly.

Bottom line, there is a reason the city is making it harder for people to drive here. Because suburban drivers act with impunity.[/quote]
