Queens NIMBY Web Site Guy,

If we had congestion pricing there'd be fewer cars, fewer accidents and more street space for emergency vehicles to clear up the so-called accidents.

But, hey, you go and enjoy your $4 gallon while it's still cheap.

One could argue that Julie but one would be wrong. Ask the insurance industry.

Actually, one could argue that when there is more traffic, the cars are less likely to achieve the speed necessary to have an accident.

Right, because reducing traffic wouldn't in turn reduce congestion-causing accidents.

If pricing doesn't help regular joe politicians drive to meetings about transit at Madison and 50th, what's the point? There's no irony here.

Yes, because if we had congestion pricing and there were an accident, there would be no traffic.
