AAA: Washington DC Police "Sometimes the Worst Drivers"

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Local police officers have been involved in hundreds of "preventable accidents" every year -- aka, "vehicular collisions that could have been avoided had the drivers adhered to traffic laws and basic roadway etiquette," according to a report in the Washington Examiner.

D.C. police officers managed to wreck it up 237 times last fiscal year, and 600+ more times the year before, while Montgomery County police tallied 385 collisions in fiscal 2009, and 57 preventable accidents so far this fiscal year.

"These guys are sometimes the worst drivers out there," John Townsend, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesman, told the newspaper. "It's almost like they're teenagers -- overconfident in their ability to drive."

See it all the time! I used to share a building with a towing company, and there is nothing more pathetic than seeing a little boy in uniform after he trashes his cruiser.
