Reply to comment by CatsAreOurGods in I'm legit scared of people in cars these days. Why does it feel like society is breaking down? by MintyLacroix
After years of living here, here is my understanding of drivers.
MD - be as defensive as possible. Don’t care if you are right, defense is self preservation. If you see an MD tag, stay at least 10ft away.
VA - be as assertive as possible. I have no clue what they are doing. So, take charge and lead them. For the most part they appreciate the direction.
DC - we cool, except when you are not and you are just an asshole then.

Reply to comment by celj1234 in As a driver, New Jersey Ave NW has absolutely convinced me that protected bike lanes are the right decision. by sloowhand
I was recently driving there and there were cars parked with blinkers on without a driver on the east bound side. There was ton of parking available on the west bound side. I think this area should probably be designated as drop off/pickup area which would elevate the issue of non availability of space. Can’t help if if a driver ignores it though.
