Hundreds of vehicles with over $2 million in traffic fines booted and towed in D.C.District of Columbia officials on Thursday said they’ve booted and towed more than 800 vehicles the past two months that racked up over $2 million in fines as authorities try to pump the brakes on lawless driving in the city.
The sweep was done as part of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Vision Zero initiative that aims to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries in D.C., public works officials said. One cluster in Ward 2 saw enforcement teams boot 46 cars that had $92,000 in fees, the department said.
