Hmm, interesting, you found a maryland traffic code I'm not familiar with.

Greenbelt? Where the heck is that?

And no, more like just 7% of people in Baltimore follow traffic law. The rest are trying to kill me, which is why I have such damned good reflexes in my car and insist on riding with a large amount of spacing and large margins of errors for my own mistakes and for sudden emergency situations. This is also why I'd like to enforce better driver's ed and more stringent driving tests (if you can't get a license with a 1 hour road test and a skidpad test, then screw you, you don't need to drive), and also just completely revamp our traffic laws to be simpler and make more sense.

I watched the traffic light at the intersection my apartment sits on get toppled by a guy skidding his car through the intersection at like 60mph. He just flew on by, slid up on the curb, knocked over the post supporting the traffic signal, and took out the fire hydrant next to it, and a parked car. I can't explain that one. Pulling out in front of me from a stop, failing to signal, changing lanes and assuming I'll move out of the way, running stop signs ... I get these things. Racing down a side street at 60mph and then launching your car through two street utilities (steel electric post for traffic signal, steel fire hydrant) and into a parked car? Whiskey Tango F**k was this guy doing?
