"Screw the Pedestrians, They Just Get in My Way"

I can't think of a better way to celebrate this blog's 500th post than to revel in the unique driving habits of DC's drivers. Damn the pedestrians, they say!

Are you sure this wasn't kicked over by a jaywalking pedestrian or rolled over by a inattentive cyclist? There are just as many of those in DC as bad drivers.

I almost got nailed by someone making a u-turn while I was in the crosswalk (and with a right of way). See a lot of u-ies in this city. Are they legal here?

Also, would really appreciate it if drivers could be mindful of the lights on the Logan traffic circle. Yikes!

Hmmm, I used to live in a quadrant, the smallest one, name will go unmentioned-- last week there was a commission of ANC and DDOT officials observing the traffic patterns at a difficult intersection there. While they were there, they observed 7 illegal U-Turns, one made by a woman who has an email listserve in the neighborhood and has recently railed against unsafe driving at that intersection! Silver-haired Afric. Amer. woman with green eyebrows. Residents know who that is...
