Enforcing traffic laws is about making our roads safer. Our latest STEER Act enforcement includes a driver who struck a 12-year-old child in a DC crosswalk. The child's mother said it best: "Nothing is that important that it’s worth risking your life or other people’s lives."

Severe storms are possible in the District tomorrow (Monday, March 16).

We sued @LiveNation and @Ticketmaster to end their illegal monopoly over live music. That fight is not over. DC and a bipartisan group of states refused to join DOJ's settlement. On Monday, we’ll return to court and continue fighting for fairness for artists, venues, and fans.

Today, @DCAttorneyGen Schwalb announced the dangerous driver from Maryland who hit Paisley in the crosswalk was held accountable in Court thanks to STEER Act. Plus, AG Schwalb launched another round of STEER Act cases, one of which is for a driver with 800+ speeding tickets! 🧵

Gone are the days when out-of-state drivers could drive recklessly in our communities while escaping consequences. We are going to court, winning judgments, securing settlements, collecting penalties, and filing new lawsuits. If you drive on DC streets, follow DC traffic laws.

Another driver we sued, Wayne Proctor, owes $155,220 for 530 violations. 95% of violations are for dangerous driving, including speeding and running stop signs and red lights. Meanwhile, Tameisha Williams racked up $122,610 for 324 violations, including 301 speeding tickets.

NEW: We secured five settlements and won nine new court judgments against out-of-state repeat dangerous drivers. Together, they will be required to pay $531,192. We also filed five new STEER Act lawsuits — including a driver who single-handedly racked up $284,550 in violations.

Since 2023, our Consumer and Tenant Response unit has addressed more than 12,000 complaints from DC residents and recovered nearly $4 million for consumers and tenants. DC, we are here for you:
