[Marmoot]

Anybody has stats on ACC cost for:
- cyclists

- weekend sports (rugby, etc)

Bonus if you can find out:

Stats on claims in 2008

[Trudes]

The stats on injuries while "fighting" and "eating, drinking" are "interesting"....
I think this is the page that is probably the most relevant http://www.acc.co.nz/about-acc/stati...aims/IS0800367

As previously posted elsewhere on KB, and hotly debated at the time:

MOT 2008 Motorcycle crash stat's

[mowgli]

Is there someone in the industry who could provide sales figures for road versus off-road bikes. Would be useful in extrapolating how many non-registered bikes there are in use.

Are these the statistics ACC use?

[MSTRS:Me]

Does it really matter where they get their stats from? The only important stats to me, is mine...and they say I'm a contributor only.

what about my stats... 25 years no ACC claim...

[Naki Rat]

Diesel does not carry an ACC component in its pump price as this is included in the RUCs. Does anybody have info on this amount?

[MSTRS:Me]

what I about my stats... 25 years no ACC claim...

From m/c or other vehicle? Or in totality?
Me - 36 years = no vehicle claim. And only stitches (twice) from other reasons.

??? According to that document (page 65) there were 28756 mopeds in the fleet and 101457 motorbikes. A total of 129213 (I think)

Total... none zip, nada

So my PAYE ACC, rego fee's, and fuel ACC have being paying for every one else... if I have a accident tomorrow I want my 25 years share worth...

Hi Barry, have had a look at that. May have some info here for you to add to the thread:
I have just put my hands on the latest copy of "Yearly Report 2009-MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES IN NEW ZEALAND 2008"
This document is issued by the Ministry of Transport, and prepared by Transport Monitoring. It contains statistical information right back to 1951.
I read through most of it's 160 pages last night. The statistics regarding motorcycle accidents are interesting to say the least. I really don't know where ACC are getting their information to support such a massive increase in Levies.
Motorcyclists are constantly portrayed in the media as dangerous and high risk road users. Yet the statistics state otherwise. The "trend" regarding accidents and fatalities is showing motorcycling as becoming safer than almost anytime back to the dark days of the 70's & 80's. Admittedly, the years 2006 to 2008 show a rise in crashes, though, motorcycle registrations have nearly doubled since 2003.
The document also shows the major causes of accidents, interestingly, GiveWay intersections, Nose to Tail, Car driver distraction (cigarettes,radio,glovebox etc), cell phones, rain & drivers falling asleep at the wheel.

Although the stat's give each year from '51-'08, here are some examples:
In Section 4, pages 68 & 69: 'Motorcycle Casualties And Crashes year ending 31st December 2008'

1951 with 24,779 bikes on the road, 1125 crashes,1117 injured,47 killed (inc pillions)
1961 " 41,689 " , 1742 crashes,1629 injured,43 killed " "
1971 " 56,441 " , 2668 crashes,2911 injured,52 killed " "
1981 " 132,730 " , 3273 crashes,3376 injured,116 killed (the heyday period of pillions)
1991 " 72,676 " , 1963 crashes,2061 injured,78 killed (inc pillions)
2001 " 57,836 " , 658 crashes,669 injured,35 killed " "
2008 " 96,952 " , 1378 crashes,1396 injured,50 killed " "

If you compare the figures of 1971 and 1991, motorcycling is indeed trending towards safer. Yet ACC are increasing levies disproportionately. Bare in mind also, that the bikes we ride now are bigger and faster and many heavier than ever before!
The document also covers cyclists.....their statistics are quite alarming, and generally based on car drivers causing the accident.
The number one cause of motorcycle accidents based on the statistics, that is indeed our fault is RIDER SKILL. The two main factors being 'new rider' and 'cornering'.
The same statistics are mimicked in relation to car drivers, 'new driver' and 'cornering'.
And what causes most motorcycle accidents........CARS AT INTERSECTIONS
Another VERY interesting statistic........
