Parking in the District, not for the club. Is there any way to look up whether a particular street allows parking during rush hour?
Completely off topic parking question
Incoming!
On a somewhat related issue…..Clamping! What genius dreamed that one up? …so you parked illegaly to nip into the drycleaners, which I'm not defending, but blocking traffic for say, 5-10 mins. Some chump then comes along and installs a device on your car, the result being that your car is now blocking traffic for hours and hours!!!!!
HOV lanes…. if they improve traffic flow why not just make every lane on the beltway HOV, that way it would run as smoothly as Brands Hatch during F1 practice laps! :roll:

Or capital punishment, as if that will somehow lessen the initial crime. Of course the thinking is, if people know their car could get clamped, maybe they'll think otherwise. You'd think they'd just slash the tires (saves on clamp expenses) or just blow the darned thing up (really "learn ya").

Braille on drive-through ATM's!!!! What's up with that?….In Ireland I could understand it going by the way a large percentage drive.
They are different than the DC area drivers. In DC they're just arrogant bastards cutting in without signals, speeding up so you can't pull in, even though you've been signalling your intentions for the last 10 miles, running red lights because their time is more important than yours etc. In Ireland they're just awful. In fact, the EU has 'suggested' that unless Irish driving improves, the Irish DL will not be recognized in other EU countries……now that's BAD[/]
