Reply to comment by SquishWindow in Driver hits 2 women near White House, killing 1 by MrSpontaneous

DC cannot get all the dangerous drivers off the road because so many aren't DC licensed drivers or in DC registered vehicles. As a consequence the policy choice appears to be to not even attempt to get the DC licensed drivers from driving dangerously.

The city is incapable of fixing this issue unless they start a zero-tolerance impound policy. Anything below taking away the vehicle is essentially wish casting, since Virginia and Maryland don't have any sort of reciprocal punishment for DC initiated fines.

Idk about zero tolerance but I am fine with more aggressive impounding, towing, booting, license suspensions, etc.

Note that that's just for camera fines, which DC also now has virtually no punishments for.
