I dont agree with you about that Jim, I would hate third party insurance to be compulsory.
Here why.
1. It's not compulsory so its bloody cheap.
3rd party on my 650 is $65 per year. It would be $650 - $2000 like it is anywhere else if it were compulsory.
2. Even if it was compulsory, it wont help.
You can be sure that the guy who hits you wont have paid it, will be over the drink drive limit, or will have breached the terms of his licence, and his claim will be declined, leaving it back with you.
3. As long as you have third party insurance you are covered.
Most insurers will pay for repairs to your bike and get the loot from the at fault party even if you only have third party cover.
Please leave this one alone, we are well served by our third party laws !
David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.
