From the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced the first lawsuits filed by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) under new authority granted by the DC Council to bring civil enforcement actions against dangerous drivers with large numbers of unpaid tickets for speeding, reckless driving, and other traffic violations. Under the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (STEER) Act, OAG can hold these drivers accountable for their repeated illegal conduct by securing monetary judgments against them wherever they live, meaning that OAG can sue dangerous drivers who flout District traffic laws even when they live outside the District.
OAG filed today’s lawsuits against:
Andre E. Bowman, who owes the District $36,986 for 135 traffic infractions, including 94 for speeding.
Earl D. Curtis, who owes the District $27,882 for 115 traffic infractions, including 52 for speeding.
Leon L. Carter, who owes the District $30,666 for 84 traffic infractions, including 80 for speeding.
