In response to the feedback we received on this tweet, we would like to clarify: Concern about traffic safety is not misguided. This reform changes nothing about traffic safety. It does not end the penalties or fines associated with moving and parking violations.

DCFPI@DCFPI

While some express concern that Clean Hands reform would pose a risk to traffic safety, this is misguided— aggravated reckless driving by a DC resident leads to immediate license revocation. Reform would not change that penalty & would not hinder DPW’s capacity to boot and tow.
