I hope this driver will be cited for driving while on the phone not paying attention to the driving
The Fairfax cops need glasses. I could give out 100 tickets per day.
Ondaboat, I totally agree. Route 7 between Seven Corners Plaza and Culmore; daily/nightly cars are definitely driving over the speed limit (35 now–before 40) and the noise is UNREAL. I witnessed
a cruiser sitting in the church parking lot and I know he/she heard and saw what I saw/heard and nothing. I respect the police and firepeople tremendously and I agree who wants the JOB–but lets do the JOB if that is what you signed up for. Even walking around the community, I always see registrations and inspection stickers out of date. Driving behind a vehicle and it is swaying from one side to the other, drive up next to the vehicle (if you can); phone up to the drivers ear!!
