Found these today:

Bill Hill's Blog about bad driving in NM.

RoadRagers.com with entries from NM.

Buzzuro's blog calling out NM as having the worst drivers...

It's not just me!

Found this on YouTube...

Did a search on driving in Albuquerque and found this. I can only think that it's like that after nearly every storm here.

It's not just me...

Found this post on "Best of Craigslist" and thought of the many many many times a dickwad has tail gated me when I was going 9 mph over the limit...

Right on, dude. Couldn't agree with you more.

Dillhole for the Day

From an anonymous contributor:

Here's my dill hole for the day. I was driving South on I-25 this morning in the right hand lane. This jerkoff cuts me off from the center lane and as I'm entering the exit lane for Jefferson proceeds to almost take my front bumper off. No regards to who might be behind/beside him at all. NM Plate JFC860. Sorry I didn't get a picture of this idiot in action, but I was trying to honk my horn and slam on my brakes at the time.

What is WRONG with people? (for the umteenth time)

This first guy came screaming down Tramway in the left lane, passing dozens of cars. He was probably going at least 70 and probably a lot faster in a 50. New Mexico License plate FASTASP. What does that mean? As fast as a Porsche? Fast as Poop? I think it should be "FASTASSHOLE". Of course, like usual, after such reckless driving, he ended up stuck behind the red left turn signal to the on ramp for I25 South. Dude, chill - you didn't get anywhere any faster than the rest of us.



Up next is the Corrales police car E3, NM License Plate G 63131. I thought it was ironic that while Corrales is famous for handing out speeding tickets to people going 3 mph over the limit of 30, this guy was going easily 10+ over the limit of 35 on Alameda Rd. going West, just West of 4th St. Nice example, buddy.



Finally, here's a guy driving a Jewel Electric van in Corrales. Unfortunately, the picture is too blurry to see the license plate. This guy thought it was perfectly fine to pull out right in front of me. I mean, I was going right at the 30 limit, which is pretty slow, and yet I had to slow down quite a bit to accommodate this jerkoff. And what did he do? He looked back at me in his side mirror so I gave him the one fingered salute and he shot one back. I guess now days it's just "everyone can fuck off - I'll do what I want". Great, people. Just great.

Why bother to look? Or to care?

Nothing too remarkable here beyond the total disregard for oncoming traffic. The driver of this light gold Ford SUV, NM license plate HSS313 thought it would be just fine to pull out of the gas station parking lot RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME while I was going 40MPH. Yeah, great plan for surviving another few years. Fortunately, I had my eye on this dingbat's car and slammed on my brakes to avoid an ugly accident. Maybe next time, dumbass, try looking. And if maybe you can't see so well because there are other cars around, don't ASS-U-ME that you can just go. People, PLEASE pay attention out there.

A Tale of Two City Cops

In the past two days I observed two Albuquerque Police Department squad cars being bad examples for the rest of us. Just like the cop on the RR Bad Driver Blog, these guys are living a double standard. If we had done either of these things while THEY were around, we would get a ticket. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera nor was I able to get the car numbers.

The first APD cop was driving East on Alameda between Rio Grande and 4th St. While traffic was going about 40 (in a 35) this guy thought it was perfectly fine to go 50 in the left lane and tail gate people until they moved out of his way. No lights, no siren. I couldn't swear to it, but I think he was off duty. It would have been perfect if someone had the balls to go 40 and NOT move out of his way. What would he have done, ticket them? What a jackass.

Then there was the APD cop on Juan Tabo going North at Montgomery. He got into the left lane and made a U-turn right there where this is a no-U-turn sign. Again, had any of us done that with him around, we would have earned ourselves a ticket.

I seriously do not understand how they can do this and expect the rest of us citizens to obey the law. THEY are also bound to the law and should obey it. No wonder we have a city full of douchebag drivers - even the cops participate.

Let me say this, though: not all of them are like that. I was actually pleasantly surprised this morning when an APD car was with me in traffic for a good ways on Alameda going West, ending up in Rio Rancho. He generally obeyed the speed limit or at least did not go any faster than the average traffic flow. Thank you, sir. I just wish that your fellow officers were as clued in. BTW I loved the asswipe driving a gold Accura small SUV coming up fast in the right lane to pass me and then suddenly slowing down when he realized that there was an APD car in front of him. This was of course while it was A) raining, and B) the visibility was reduced. People, please get a clue - I'd like to live a little longer and keep my car from getting bashed in. I know - I'm a dreamer.
