I live in Albuquerque and the drivers are by far the worst compared to anywhere I've ever lived. There's no enforcement as APD doesn't want to "deal with it" anymore. Our current mayor pretends it's fine. When I talk to burqueños about it they agree that it's terrible but I get the sense that no one actually cares. To me, drivers have gotten worse since the pandemic and no one wants any kind of enforcement. It's infuriating. These deaths are so pointless and easily preventable.
I love biking but can't here for fear of being run over like this.
I literally moved away from albuquerque because the drivers are so bad lol. I saw people run red lights directly in front of APD and the cops did nothing on two separate occasions.
I remember taking my car for an emissions inspection in Albuquerque years ago. The mechanic fiddled around for about half an hour trying to get it to pass and then finally stuck the sensor up the tailpipe of his own car. Service with a smile lol.
