@cockbarf and gifen that they require such heavy first responder and specialist presence like explosives unit, well beyond what’s needed for standard wrecks, they should be taxed for that.

Seen someone slam into the wall by 34th st going southbound once.

That stretch of the FDR, from around The Williamsburg Bridge exit to 96th Street Northbound, is a drag race. Especially for these Tesla drivers, who as of late, have been winding up dead quite often. Either through a windshield or Ina fiery blaze of death.
