[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big part of the reason why I wanted to move to the US is because we used to enforce our driving under the influence laws. As a teenager growing up in a country where these laws did not even exist, I went to many funerals for kids who died in completely avoidable traffic accidents. In my high school of 300 kids, we buried at least five teenagers during my high school years. I cannot fully describe how these events marked our young lives. And I cannot even pretend to understand how these drunk driving deaths must have destroyed the parents and other relatives of the kids who died.

Drivers smoking weed--and, thus, driving impaired--have become too numerous and frequent in DC for me to even notice them anymore. But a few weeks ago I encountered--for the first time since I arrived in this country more than decades ago--a person driving while drinking a beer. He did not even try to conceal the beer as he drank from it. It was on M Street SW at around 3 p.m. He had zero concern the cops would pull him over.

Thank you Charles Allen and Brianne Nadeau and Phil Mendelhson and Brian Schwalb. Thank you. You have made this city safer for criminals in so many ways.[/quote]

I have seen this too, but in NE. This is what happens when there is zero traffic enforcement. [/quote]
