[the pit at 1600 m st se @openthispitup]

bad drivers are maybe the worst part of living here. our proposal is simple: take their cars and drop them into the pit at 1600 M St SE.

16 a year? Pit

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

If you’re speeding over and over again, it’s not a mistake. You’re making our streets dangerous.

I’ve got a plan to crack down on super-speeders and make New York City safer.

Let’s get it done.

a fatal hit and run becoming a story about how dipshit drivers can't stop hitting stationary objects? pathetic

[the pit at 1600 m st se @openthispitup]

really anything but the driver's fault huh

[Ben Dennis Reports @broadcastben_]

A man was hit and killed walking near C St./North Carolina/16th in Northeast DC Christmas Eve. As we were looking into the story where neighbors say a brand new traffic configuration has drivers hopping the curb, a woman did just that. Her car, wrecked, leaving her in tears.

Three years after 24-year-old Nina Larson was killed on Columbia Road, someone has been charged in her death. Sophia Maltas pleaded not guilty this morning to failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and reckless driving.

Chief of Police acknowledges @DCPoliceDept is renting cars to use for traffic details using temporary light bars and magnetic MPD emblem. Chief declined to say how many rental cars are in use but adds “they are legit” @nbcwashington

If I didn't take pictures of the crazy shit that we see in Ward 8 people wouldn't believe it sometimes. This person was in line behind us and drove in the opposing lanes forward had to be 40 yards just to make the green light. This behavior thrives because it goes unchecked.

Today I was driving on Penn Ave SE, trying to merge into another lane. The MD car behind me started aggressively honking. When I moved lanes, he floored it just so that he could move up the length of one car before he had to slam the brakes. He has $38k in speeding tickets.

deeply unserious city, a mayor wholly unconvinced that anything is wrong

would appear that dc is failing to collect on as much as 2/3 of camera enforcement tickets https://t.co/0l8GppTzvh

@beansandbikes @biketrian19456 that's right

[the pit at 1600 m st se @openthispitup]

i like it. yes

[Biketrian @biketrian19456]

We should instead be discouraging having missing, defaced, obscured, or fake plates by immediately crushing any such car

[Charles Allen @charlesallen]

On my bus ride home this evening, I overhear the person behind me say “Oh man, DC finally passed a law to go after all those Maryland drivers!”

Yes, yes we did. It’s called the STEER Act. And it’s not limited to dangerous drivers from Maryland.

[FakeTagsDC @FakeTagsDC]

It's hard to tell but the tag appears to be from 2023. Either way it has $26,102.00 in unpaid DC fines

a happy week without driving to anyone whose car has been dropped into The Pit at 1600 M St SE. You deserved it
