Overheard/Validation: Wisconsin Avenue, Georgetown, October 29 2011

From wandering around the city, it seemed to me that motorists in Washington D.C. were quite aggressive toward pedestrians, zooming around corners in front of the peds who were crossing at the lights when the green man was flashing. I was ready to dismiss this as the mere impression of an uninitiated Australian, until I overhead this conversation.

Girl 1: Wait, you don't jay-walk?

Girl 2: Not in D.C....people are crazy!

Not long after this, I witnessed a hit & run accident.
