  • Alburquerque "drivers"

    After watching a few of these videos, I told my wife that if she EVER comes to me and says we're moving to Alburquerque that we ARE getting divorced!

    I dont thing our marriage would last long anyway because one of us would be widowed after the first few days of driving there.

    You just have to come from someplace where they drive crazy anyway. My Mom moved from Boston to Alberquerque. Driving in Alberquerque is so much easier and less nerve racking. (Nope, not kidding)

      Oh, I believe it.

      My dad used to commute from MD into DC daily before moving to New Mexico, and he says even Albuquerque's worst drivers are better than the crap he saw on the Beltway (although DC drivers weren't quite as...creative*).

      * We've seen low-riders with the stupid hydraulics bouncing along while moving, interesting interpretations of signs, plywood-shed-on-a-pickup-truck "mobile homes" with too much crap tied on top to be anywhere approaching legal...the list goes on. Not necessarily dangerous, more "did I actually see what I thought I saw?!"

        SERIOUSLY?? I mean SERIOUSLY?????

        That was NOTHING!! I even weatched a couple of his other videos. That's NOTHING!!!

        And Boston is not bad either.

        Especially when you drive in south Florida, especially Miami. On my 6 mile ride to work I average at least 3 people trying to merge into me, and I don't evne know how many red light runners (I don't even bother trying to keep track anymore). I start to go, I'm haflway though and someone STILL decided to run the red light. People wait for you to be close enough then fly out in front of you in intersections.

        Having lived all up and down the eastern US and been in many other places, south Florida has the worst drivers (Mass is second - they wrote the book on road rage / revengeful driving).

          I rolled my eyes and quit watching when he got to the point that the sound was muted because he was on a personal call. Talking on your phone while driving is illegal, unless you have a hands free headset, and distracting even if you do.

            this is NOTHING. Try driving in the Chicagoland area. even at 3am the sober drivers are worse.

                Try my hometown of Decaur, IL where signals are rarely used and everyone drives 5-10 mph under the posted limits.
                I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

                  honestly, I think if you drive around ANY major metropolitan area with a dash cam long enough, you'll be able to put together a lot of videos like this. Bad drivers are everywhere.
