These idiots that ride ATVs and dirt bikes on the street deserve what they get. No headlights or safety gear…the other day I saw an ATV with three teenagers racing a 100cc trail bike on Louisiana NE near North Domingo Park. Common sense is not common.
I’ve lived in a lot of places. I’ve never seen the combination of aggression, stupidity, and lack of awareness that I see daily from Albuquerque drivers. It’s honestly impressive.
Most people shouldn’t be allowed to drive, especially in tomorrow land. Most can’t even have a 3rd grade level conversation- yet when they drive they are texting, windows too dark to see out of, vaping their weed, watching a movie, talking to the person they are with, and other distractions they just have to do while driving. They don’t care, they don’t look, and merging or changing lanes, means- IT’S YOUR responsibility to let them over and watch out for them. Then if they don’t get their way, the ghetto comes out. Ghetto rules are they believe they get to do what they want, but you don’t. They don’t care about the consequences either. Once upon a time, driving used to be a privilege.
