As a lot of DC-area drivers probably know, one of the most frustrating
"exits" in the whole metro area is from the EB SE/SW freeway to
Pennsylvania Ave.  As it's not really an exit at all, but the end of the
freeway, all traffic has to go onto Pennsylvania Ave. EB.  However, the

Speeders, drunk drivers, and red light runners should have their

time it would make highways safer and fewer crashes means  a huge

So I'm crossing the street today IN the marked crosswalk WITH the walk
sign. Up ahead of me some bimbo comes screeching up to the light, only
she can't quite stop in time and her car comes to a stop across the
crosswalk. She promptly throws it into reverse and starts to back up.

female. One, about 40, even told a cop he was a M-Fing ass-hole. She ...
