Did you know that the crash rate in New York City is actually more than 30 percent LESS than the national average, yet New Yorkers pay the fourth HIGHEST insurance premium rates in the nation?? Now a new “crash tax” proposal has been made that would directly charge residents for using ambulances and fire trucks in the case of an emergency! Projected prices are $490 to receive emergency services for a car fire or accident that involves an injury. Without an injury, the cost would be $415. For any other type of vehicle accident without injury, the city would charge $365. Besides the fact that these emergency services are already covered in our annual taxes, the worst part is that you will be required to pay these extra fees whether or not you are at fault! Do you think this is fair?? @iBLONDEgenius
