Minutes from BRONZ meeting with ACC minister on safety and levy reduction

[davebullet]

BRONZ representatives met with ACC minister Nikki Kaye, ACC and MBIE delegates on 17/6/15 about how to work towards improving motorcycle safety and transparency around levy setting and reduction goals.

The meeting was a productive first session where ACC and MBIE will meet with BRONZ over the coming months before reviewing again with The Minister in three months time.

BRONZ also invited the minister to observe the required Basic Handling Skills test required for a learner license and following Competency Based Training Assessment (CBTA). The CBTA is a relatively recent system introduced for improving a motorcyclists skills and also reducing the time required per license stage. A further press release will advise date, time and location for The Minister's observation session.

SUMMARY OF POINTS / IDEAS THUS FAR:
1. Any powered two wheeler must have motorcycle (not car) license class (ie. class 6) - or allocate scooter crashes to car statistics
2. Levy the rider - but linked to bike on hold registration
3. Discounts for accredited training
4. Discounts for appropriate riding gear
5. Study relationship between motorcycle power/rider experience and crashes
6. Discounts for bikes with safety features (eg. traction control, ABS, electronic suspension.... )

Seriously, if you can't tell the difference between Nikki Kaye and Nick Smith your eyes need checking.

And your pulse.

All I can make out is try again in 3months and ill let some office junior talk to you next time.

I think you will get more sense out of Nikki Kaye than you'd ever get out of Nick "we're building houses" Smith...

[Katman]

Actually I feel like staging a coup at MSAC just so I can be the one to sit and gaze across a table at her.

[Katman]

I'd get her and Jacinda Adern working together on something.

[FJRider]

I'd get her and Jacinda Adern working together on something.

Each other ... maybe ...

[Katman]

And I'd have Mojo Mathers keeping minutes.

Each other ... maybe ...

Why do you have to sully such a beautiful story?

I prefer to judge MP's on results ... not their gender.


If the talk (and results) are the same from both ... does it matter the sex ... ??
