Those of us DC residents who do a lot of riding/driving in VA may want to be aware of this situation:

I suspect the DC Council will take some action to address the issue (i.e., to change the definition and/or penalties associated with a reckless offense), particularly now that it's been highlighted in The Post, but in the meantime this could easily catch one of us up in its net, so be vigilant.
