I was having a look at the LTSA site today to work out how much rego I have to pay if I buy a DR650 ($521) vs a DRZ400 ($407) which I found.
I also found this:
Eligible businesses who own five or more vehicles weighing more than 3,500kg, who demonstrate strong safety management practices can reduce their ACC motor vehicle levies by 10 – 40%
What strikes me about this is that it is a recognition that better operators get lower ACC levies because they are a lower risk.
So the logical next question therefore is "Well why the fuck can't that be extended to any motorist, and in particular to motorcyclists?"
Because clearly the statutory recognition (lower risk is rewarded) is there, as is the regulatory framework for this instance.
Because it is an election year, I feel it necessary to ask the question of Mr Brownlee, for the Nazional party, and whoever is the Transpurt spokesdrone for Liarbour.
This might be oldnews to the rest of you but today was the first time I had struck it. Fascinating, as Mr Spock would say.
