    Given that the major portion of the annual rego is the ACC levy, I would be interested to know how much revenue ACC receive from fines for unregistered vehicles. I suspect they don't get what is arguably theirs.
    If that is the case, it would then be interesting to know how much the government receives each year in fines from unregistered ( and maybe unwarranted?) drivers who are effectively not contributing their share to the ACC.
    I may be lost, but I'm making great time!

    Fine, this point is covered on heaps of threads, is not the topic of this thread.
    The point of dual ownership or more will not win any arguemnets in the face of politicians. Your post and various others should be moved to PD.

    Well im sorry but i was comenting on a post made and that post was dividing the acc cost to mc's verses the income from mc's and i was only trying to point out that because i have a car as well and i can only drive one at a time but pay twice on redgo that that should be calculated in but maybe im just thinking a bit far outside the square.

    Half of KB have more than one vehicle they are paying for.
    But those sort of things have to be put aside and fact on fact argued, or we'll be divided and screwed.

    So in the US they got a similar figure to our alleged 16 times when based on "per vehicle mile traveled".

    Point 1-true.
    Point 2-so the fact that we as motorcyclists are getting targeted and paying through the nose when horse riders ,cyclists,hunters,sports player's etc etc pay nothing cant be argued as fact on fact then?

    Point 2 true, but if you read through the posts we, (and I), weren't going there.
    There is plenty of other threads to choice from for those arguements, but no actual hard facts deriving from them, other than huff & puff.
    This thread was commended was it not, from a MOD for being on topic and thoughtful.
    Why do you think out of app 85 ACC threads only a handful survive.
    We wish to stick to tackling Nick Smiths claims with real numbers.

    Cyclists (adult that works) hunters, boaties sports etc, and including motorcycle and car are all covered by PAYE ACC...

    motorcyclists are just being targeted because minority and a so called soft target, supposidly easy money in reality motorcyclists, (espeacially those with 2 or 3 vehicles) plus PAYE, and the fuel ACC pay more than their fair share over all...

    The short fall only counts the rego income, your PAYE ACC covers any thing you do not matter what... no fault... no questions, no finger pointing... untill now...

    Well to me the fact that we as motorists pay acc leveis but sports etc etc people dont is a valid argument and a hard fact and not as you say huff and puff.
    This is not just about real numbers its about numbers,equality,fairness and the fact that acc is supposed to be no fault cover
