Albuquerque has the worst drivers. Those metrics, which focus on fatalities, were: 1) The number of people killed in fatal crashes, 2) the total number of fatal crashes, 3) fatal crashes involving a drunk driver, 4) fatal crashes involving a distracted driver and 5) fatal crashes involving speeding — all per 100,000 residents. "I won't say New Mexico has the worst drivers," Ferenchak said. Infrastructure aside, what drivers do while behind the wheel is also of utmost importance, especially given statistics that reveal the plight of younger drivers. Albuquerque has been ranked ninth or 10th in the nation for fatal crashes involving drivers ages 15 to 20 — Gen Z drivers.
