recall. >> reporter: evasive answers which drew fire. >> seems like your testimony has been way too evasive. >> those of you at the top don't seem to have a clue about what was going on on this rig.

rush hour traffic in the district is congested to say the least, bottlenecking especially near the national mall where cars heading into and out of virginia slow things down to a crawl. now it seems some are blaming people like these for the problem. >> that's ridiculous. >> reporter: slug drivers who much like cab drivers briefly stop in no stopping zones along busy roads like the 14th street corridor to pick up car poolers or sluggers as they're called. >> we do it every day. you get home faster. the bus takes longer, has to stop at every stop. this is much quicker. >> it actually cuts down on traffic on 95. it doesn't take that long to pick up a slug so i don't think they should be ticketed. >> reporter: but that's exactly what some slug drivers say has been happening. the district enforcing its no stopping zone law and ticketing drivers for picking up slugs. many believe it's a reaction to virginia senator jim webb's call on d.c. and the national park service to help reduce the gridlock near the mall by cracking down on illegally parked tour buses. >> you can see on 14th street here, it's kind of conhe jested. not only people picking up slug letters. it's just the -- sluggers, it's just the whole mess of the city. >> reporter: our cameras didn't catch any slug drivers getting $100 tickets, but we did see officials ticketing for other violations like cell phone use. sluggers say they can't understand why anyone would want to stop the free carpooling system. some plans call on for district -- [ inaudible ] >> i think it works great. i don't think we should
