Okay so you get the promise of cheaper premiums for now….
Insurance companies of all types are greedy as fuck. This is temporary. This will get increased in the next 5 years, and I’m being conservative with that number because these slimy fucks will likely be trying to increase prices the next day after this goes into effect.
Supposedly you’ll get a cheaper premium today at the cost of not being reimbursed to make you whole tomorrow. So what happens when these same companies come back and want to increase your premium by $10? Are you now going to make parties whole by the same percentage? Likely not. And the cowardly government is just going to let them step on the public again.
And how does this work for out of state drivers in New York? You get into a wreck and you’re just fucked despite supposedly paying more than a New York driver who hit you?

"Lowest insurance in the state! Only $10 a month!"
In very small print - "Deductible includes total costs for medical and vehicle"

Democrats proving yet again why they’re no better than Republicans and are completely unfit to govern.

Which is especially true for New York State lawmakers, they’ve always been super corrupt. Always.

The Russian Mafia on NYC will not be pleased. Is NY still a no-fault state? They could start there.

If insurance companies were getting hosed by injured people, why don’t they look into ways that cars might cause fewer injuries instead of abandoning the injured?
Capitalism is the enemy of reason.

One easy such thing, is puttling a piece of metal over a tractor trailer’s wheel area, so you get deflected if you go under and not chewn up and spit out. It’s voluntary and few trucks have it on them yet but a bunch of little stuff like that could help.
