What are you on about? Congestion pricing reduces congestion, which makes ambulances go faster.
Yeah true, there's fewer people on the road means fewer will not know how to drive, as people who don't know how to drive tend to not like driving so might be more motivated to avoid it by the charge. Or it's just a tax on people who are too poor to be able to turn down a job that requires them to drive...
The ambulance will still get stuck behind people who don't know how to drive...
Congestion pricing impacts rich people more than poor people. You can drive to New York, park outside of the center and take the metro or the bus. Poor people have been doing that for a long time in New York because it's expensive to park in the city. What jobs in the middle of New York city require you to drive?
