demonstrate even worse driving habits. The DC Metro area has some of the
worst drivers, usually cruising around in some beatup, souped up Honda
Civic and the driver has a suspended license.

I think it's time for a National Driving Test. I'm always
amazed at how
many people ignore double white lines, speed limits, turn
signals,
construction/lane closed signs, red lights, etc. I wonder if
people
actually don't know about these things or they just suck in
general.
I think a city should create a traffic enforcement group that
would be
responsible only for traffic infractions. Arm them with video
cameras, a
helicopter or 2 and whatever else they need. Increase the fines
for
infractions. I bet it would probably be this most revenue
generating
department of the city.
I also heard yesterday that Progressive Auto was starting a
pilot program
where you install a black box in your car and it records your
driving
habits. After a few months, you upload it to your personal
computer and you
can review it. You can then upload it to progressive and they
will issue
you discounts if you qualify as a safe driver. Very smart
program!
