The problem with DC is that there are very few secluded areas when you live right downtown. If I lived even a couple miles out in the suburbs it would be a different story. Downtown, you're pretty much in traffic from the minute you put the key in the ignition. However, your point is well made. I have primarily stuck to back roads and perhaps I got a little too over confident this afternoon. I hope to not make the same mistake again.
