They need to
a.) enforce
b.) refuse to renew registrations AND licenses
c.) get VA and MD to enforce given a huge percentage of traffic and violators aren't even from DC

But MD and VA residents don't have to pay the tickets.

So who are they for?

What are you talking about. That IS enforcement. Go look at the Records of how much money these dangerous drivers owe the city. The only recourse is that you can’t re-register your car if it has unpaid tickets. Why would you ever pay a speeding ticket if there were no consequences?

I’m with the PP. I understand your perspective but your are willfully misinterpreting and as a result overplaying your hand.


+1

So transparent. And pathetic.

Gotta love the idea that BIPOC can’t possibly just drive safely or follow the law. Casual racism displays itself in many ways.

All traffic violations are now effectively legal in DC. Drive how you want, it doesn't matter.

They were never going to get reciprocity because DCs photo enforcement practices are obviously for revenue generation and not public safety and no jurisdiction has an obligation to help the other be their tax collector.

Just another nail in the coffin of Democrat controlled cities across America. Consider their ultimate goal, as Democrats continue to vote for this.

Yup, the joke is, get out of the fast lane unless you have ticket money.

People will speed with impunity and injuries and deaths will increase.
