Exactly what I was thinking lol

"To offset the lowering of licensing fees for cars, we shall raise them for motorcyclists and trucks" :shutup:

The Registration part will probably come down, but the ACC component will stay the same or possibly even go up.

Makes no difference really when rego part is only tiny comparring to the proportion of ACC levy

[jim.cox]

and there is another 2c per litre beinmg added to fuel tax :(

[p.dath]

It did say:

slightly cheaper fees

I wonder if it'll be enough for the wife and I to go out and have one drink each together.

I suspect not.

[ducatilover]

Rego goes down slightly, petrol taxation rises, we still lose.

We better go ride our motorbicycles is an orderly fashion in Wellington as a protest, please do not be noisy, obnoxious and most of all don't be rude.

deisel miles are going up too and alot of people are going to lose out on that one with the new weight ranges and you have to buy acording to manufactures max capable weight for that veichle :shit::facepalm::angry:

"The effect of the new types and weight bands is relatively small for lighter vehicles, but may result in major differences in charges payable for vehicles of over six tonnes gross vehicle mass."

HD owners arent going to be happy

I know a guy with an unregistered 250 and a 600. Miscreant fool he is...

[oldrider]

Registration might alter but that is peanuts and does not include or effect the ACC component! :oi-grr:

That one's a bitch... lots of trucks running lower stickers because of the loads they carry. Don't see how that one's fair or justified.

[Motig]

Yep looks really good - petrol levy up 2c a litre which they say will cost an average motorist $30 a year but its countered by the rego administration fee being halved from approx $7 to $3.50 if you do it online. Whoopeee! So if you register for just 1 month at a time that'll counter the petrol increase ay!

[Oblivion]

Considering that a vast majority of frieght transport in New Zealand is done by "Truck and Trailer" This is pretty much a kick in the guts to alot of these companies.

Just another rip off. We have a van to tow our horse float and rego fees are higher than a car because vans "are commercial vehicles" and therefore "do more Km's" and therefore "are higher risk". But don't I pay taxes including acc in my diesel bills?

The next Ning they'll announce is that old ruc certs are invalid. Just like they did a few years ago when they made it that you had to round up to next weight category eg 1300kgs meant 2000kg instead of 1000kg

Just more tax to fuck us all over - when's the revolution??:ar15::ar15::ar15:

Diesel vans go slower therefore increasing your chances of survival in a crash & becoming a burden on the state is the only way I see it.

just stop paying the fuckers.

you whinge along, but noone has a gun to your head, forcing you down there to extort money from you...

i find it odd, when they mention the cost for the "service" of registration.
like you benefit from that service?

the registrar has a legislated obligation to keep a register of motor vehicles. so why the fuck should you have to pay him to do his job?

There's more house buses that are going to be screwed too as alot of the bigger busses are capabile gvm of say 16-18 tonne but only run a 6-8 tonne sticker cos they dont go over that with couple of people and gear but are now going to get stung for miles for the gvm of 16-18 tonne.:blink:

So who do you think should pay him to do his job?

My mate tried this and got arrested for not accepting the fine. Now he has been ordered to register his bike by a judge, which has cost him a lot due to the full safety inspection.

[Akzle]

So who do you think should pay him to do his job?well. my guess is that's he's some kind of government employee. so. the government.

as it stands, what with them not actually making any money, just taking it., that would make him a public servant. i'd say 30, 000 $ salary would see him right. (nearly 3 times the unemployment benefit!!)

but of course, being some back bench knob-jockey politician entitles you to 50k +, and i can almost guarantee their own "rego" and "vehicle licensing" isn't coming off their bottom line.

Due to the fact that bikes use significantly less petrol per KM than the average car, we actually kind of win when petrol prices are raised for everyone.

This is true, one is doing 3.8/100km, the other around 5-6/100km
Cars are teh gay anyway

[akkadian]

3.8/100k? I wish. I get worse fuel economy from my bloody bike than my car! Maybe its the way I ride...
