[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thus far in 2026, more people have been killed on the roads (https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/traffic-data) than have been murdered (https://mpdc.dc.gov/am/dailycrime).

It’s wonderful that crime appears to have fallen so sharply and we can only hope that this continues.

However, that so many people are dying on DC roads is unsurprising to many of us who witness that moronic behavior of some drivers on our streets.[/quote]

You get the award for most egregious misrepresentation of statistics. Here's more than a decade's worth of data, which is a tad more reliable than what random things happened in the past four weeks.

2024: 20 killed by speeding drivers, 187 murdered
2023: 22 killed by speeding drivers, 274 murdered 
2022: 9 killed by speeding drivers, 203 murdered
2021: 12 killed by speeding drivers, 226 murdered
2020: 15 killed by speeding drivers, 198 murdered
2019: 10 killed by speeding drivers, 166 murdered
2018: 9  killed by speeding drivers, 160 murdered
2017: 12 killed by speeding drivers, 116 murdered
2016: 8 killed by speeding drivers, 135 murdered
2015: 11 killed by speeding drivers, 162 murdered
2014: 12 killed by speeding drivers, 105 murdered 
2013: 11 killed by speeding drivers, 104 murdered[/quote]

While some may choose to believe that your constant repetition of statistics that have been debunked dozens of times (since these numbers represent only some of the people killed by speeding drivers each year) is a demonstration of mendacity on your part, it seems more likely that you are unfortunately afflicted with a disorder that is affecting your ability to recall previous discussions. My heart goes out to you and I hope you get the care you need.[/quote]
