NYC Proposes "Accident Tax"
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Crash your car and you'll pay...the New York City Fire Department?
According to Fox 5 New York, that's the plan being proposed by New York City officials, who want to charge motorists $490 for accidents involving injuries, $415 for vehicle fires, and $365 for any other collision that requires an emergency response.
And its not just the person at fault who will have to pay, but the victim as well.
