[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] According to the report, 973,431 tickets were mailed out to drivers between Oct. 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024. A majority of those tickets – 739,876 – were for speeding.
Maryland drivers made up most of the tickets, amounting to roughly 40%. Virginia drivers followed with 26% of the tickets. D.C. drivers received 21% of tickets.

During that time, $87,470,702 in Automatic Traffic Enforcement (ATE) program tickets were collected by the District. Meanwhile, 525,452 tickets remained unpaid.

Of the uncollected tickets, more than 350,000 of them belonged to Maryland and Virginia drivers.[/quote]

It's really infuriating the degree to which dangerous drivers come into DC from MD and VA and make our roads less safe but then don't even pay their speeding tickets. The suburbs of DC just abuse this city while relying on it for jobs and entertainment -- it's such a screwed up relationship.[/quote]

The suburbs get your carjackers and robbers, so it’s a fair trade.[/quote]

Just looking for excuses to not obey the law? Criminal is a criminal whether it is carjacking or driving recklessly. [/quote]

Maryland drivers gonna drive like Maryland drivers. [/quote]
Racist DC folks gonna be racist. The worst drivers in the city right now consistently have VA plates. [/quote]

Are you okay? It’s not racist to say that Maryland drivers are bad. They are fking terrible drivers. Baltimore Parkway and 295 are filled with just speeding, no turn signal using idiots. Sorry you’re so neurotic and hyper vigilant.[/quote]
You now going to pretend that “Maryland driver” isn’t a racist dogwhistle. You should stop being so racist and get a life. [/quote]

There may be a racist aspect to it, but it seems there is something about living in Maryland that makes everyone a worse driver. [b]Even people who move from VA/DC to Maryland note their driving becomes more "Marylandy" over time[/b]. Seems to apply to MoCo, PG, southern MD, Frederick, anywhere else within commuting distance. You have to get pretty far away from the urban areas of the state to find chill drivers again. [/quote]
LOL.
C'mon now. It has been shown over and over that drivers from Virginia are the worst.
