and you thought your state was bad

In reply to Kramer:

Hell, on night shift I will blow past the ISP guys sitting in the median. I thankfully know most of them. My friend maxed out their lidar gun with his Muzzy zx10.....

Don't act like an idiot on the toll road though.

Now I want to make a radar detector tar baby to hand over to cops if I ever go through Virginia. Take a plastic box, put some lights on it, smear it with tar except in a spot you can hold it by when handing over to the cop. Ok, the way you'd probably have the book thrown at you for trying that would probably kill the market for them. This probably would be better as a gag in a movie than in real life.

I like it!!!

My wife and I lived in SE MI from '05-'11, where we learned to drive like Detroiters. We now have to drive really slow down here. Every now and then, when we need to make a stupid driving decision, we blame it on The D.

"Ohio residents will be surprised that it’s Washington, DC" says reporter, what is that even supposed to mean? There are no other references to Ohio at all, and I was not even remotely surprised.

OH or at least Akron is a great place to live if you don't like tickets. The local PDs hands are too full with domestic violence and real crime to make traffic stops. I have heard a few times they have orders not to stop people for traffic offenses unless it's like 80+ in the 35. If they think you are drunk or you blow through a red light they just follow you home unless you hit something.

Your friend has a high speed muffler?

Though assuming you're actually talking about the Kawasaki ZX10, even an archaic X band radar can keep up with his speed.

I can belive that DC cops are bad. I can remember back to one very early sunday morning when I had to go to DC for a work related event. It was about half an hour after sunrise and my BMW was still shiney and new looking. I fell in behind a porsche and a MB with Diplomatic plates doing 100+ on the Washington Parkway... we blew by a cop on the medium without lifting and he didn't even blink.

However, once we got to DC proper.. everything was slowed down to respectible speeds

DC = 25mph speed limit off the major entry roads to the city, and the vast majority of the 430,000 tickets stated in the article are issued by speed cameras.

DC is leading the nation in predatory speed camera revenue generation. Still, DC has the most comically woeful pavement I've encountered aside from NYC.

But corrupt DC politicians take a back seat to NO ONE.
