Interesting....not one motorcyclist involved but the 18 year old WRX driver is okay because he pays lower ACC despite driving a performance vehicle...

The article doesn't mention the age of the driver!

Am I missing something Grahame??? I don't get your point sorry, especially when just under that article it reads.............."The weekend's carnage began in Marlborough on Friday evening when a 20-year-old motorcyclist was killed after he crashed into a car and was thrown off his bike."

Interesting to see where motorcycle racing is (or isin't) shown in these figures.
Or is it just lumped into general motorcycling as well??

Does anyone on KB know him, or the family?

From all of those accidents,the motorcyclist that died will be the least amount of burdon on ACC yet the non seatbelt wearing rear passenger in critical condition will probably cost the most to fix.

Shit, I lived in the Wairau Valley for nearly 20 years; I wonder if I know the young motorcyclist that has died. RIP and condolences.

My bad as I was going to just cut and paste the first few paragraphs and then in haste decided to just provide the web search...apologise.

But it does show that the cc rating for ACC is prejudiced.
