I may watch this show just to grade it on DC realism. +1: Young single male FBI agent lives in Navy Yard -0.5: Said FBI agent strolling around under the 695 overpass +0.5: He’s hit by a car while exiting a downtown alley. It’d be a full +1 with confirmation the car had MD tags

That cliche scene where a recovering alcoholic sits down at a bar, orders a shot, then stares at it wondering if he can resist the urge to relapse—that's increasingly what I feel like as I type out a tweet and hover the mouse over the send button.

@theworldscrazy7 great question that I wish the city would adequately answer

D.C. struggles to rein in risky drivers. One car has $186,000 in tickets.

Some of D.C.’s worst drivers avoid penalties for years. A fatal crash on Rock Creek Parkway in March highlighted the threat that dangerous drivers pose.
