Default DC -- Maybe you can't go faster than 25mph

It looks like big business keeps on spinning inside the Beltway. Fresh off nabbing red-light runners in the District, Lockheed Martin (my new employer, yuck!) and the local authorities are now up for nabbing those brave enough to circumnavigate the potholes, the utility trenches, the exploding man-hole covers, the pedestrians, the bums, and the Secret Service.

In a town known for its tireless parking Nazis, this stuff strikes me more as a revenue generator for the gov't and LMCO than as a way to save lives.

BTW, LMCO gets a kickback on every parking fine in the city as well. The better for them to devote to R&D so they can design those $10K toilets and hammers.
