Yeah... after coming from the NW and visiting several East Coast cities,
the taxis seemed so lethal everywhere that I barely found it worth
mentioning. Any random Manhattan taxi driver puts our local "Fast and
Furious" wannabes to shame. Seeing 5 lanes of traffic in 4 lanes on
Broadway, 5th avenue etc. blew my mind.

For someone coming directly to DC, though, definitely watch out.
