The roads right around the District are nasty to drive in, but there are already a number of programs to encourage people to report "aggressive" drivers. Maybe there just needs to be more effort to track down the reported aggressives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497903322233190967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-39567913866015150812007-08-30T07:22:00.000-06:002007-08-30T07:22:00.000-06:00Third offense for driving under the influence gets...Third offense for driving under the influence gets a $3000 fine?

Make the speeding laws something that's actually going to HURT people in some way. That way they'll stop speeding. <BR/><BR/>The law I've been pushing recently is to give anyone who speeds in a school zone a six-month license suspension. If we can't create laws to protect kids at school, what good are we? Lives are more important than speed on the road.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040231681301411948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-87432784157667892582007-08-29T08:06:00.000-06:002007-08-29T08:06:00.000-06:00Whaaaaaaaaaat?
