Blas raps Albany for crash horror

Mayor de Blasio on Monday blamed state lawmakers for “lax” laws that allowed a serial traffic scofflaw charged in the hit-and-run death of a 3-month-old Brooklyn baby to remain behind the wheel — even though a city law he signed last year was supposed to do the job.

De Blasio said soft laws in Albany allowed Tyrik Mott, 28, to continue driving even after his car racked up 160 traffic violations, including more than 90 for speeding in city school zones.

Thirty-five violations were from this year alone.

“Our laws in this state are still too lax when it comes to reckless drivers and there’s a chance to fix that now,” de Blasio said Monday. “We need help in Albany.”

He said a bill pending in the state Legislature, the Crash Victims Rights and Safety Act, would address the issue by stiffening penalties for repeated traffic offenders.

“There is something broken in the law because if you hurt someone with a car, it should be no different than if you hurt someone with a weapon,” he said.

De Blasio signed the Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Law in February 2020, which is supposed to take dangerous drivers off the road, sending them to safety classes and impounding their cars after repeat offenses. On Monday he called the law “a very powerful tool.”

But despite the city measure, Mott amassed a lengthy history of traffic offenses and remained on the road.

Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams said Monday that officials “should really think differently” about habitual reckless drivers, imposing longer or even lifetime license suspensions.

Mott allegedly blew a red light in Clinton Hill Saturday and caused a wrong-way crash that killed 3-month-old Appollin Mong-Guillemin and critically injured her mom.
