New York's climate presents significant driving hazards, from icy winter roads and heavy snow to persistent rain and fog, particularly in areas like Yonkers. These conditions contribute to a higher incidence of accidents. The state's housing stock is diverse, but vehicle ownership is common, and understanding liability for various vehicle types is crucial. New York is a 'no-fault' state for car insurance.
