Why is ACC on our rego..

[SpankMe]

and not on our drivers license. That way everybody pays, and only once.

Even better, introduce a new class on the drivers license for "ID Only" for those that don't drive. Make it law every citizen must have one if they want to use Government funded services.

Perilously close to an ID card. Let's not go there.

You only have to have one if you want to use Government services, which you have to have ID anyway.

[k2w3]

Therefore we don't need another.

If you want cyclists and off roaders to pay ACC you do.

[k2w3]

Good point. Ignore me.

I think it's the IRD number. I had to supply my one when I applied for the pension last week.

Does everyone get an IRD number? It can't be used as identification thou.

[R6_kid:Me]

Anyone who has a legal income, or collects the DBP etc must have an IRD number.

I was asked to do a tax return when I was 11 - as I had been earning an income via a paper run since the age of 7!

Or, why is it not on fuel completely - that'll get dirtbikes, and the like, and will make those who do more miles (and therefore more likely to get injured) pay extra without penalising those who use more than one form of transport?

Any thoughts on that?

This would be a far more sensible idea.

The problem is vehicles do not give the same km/lt results. Imagine the screams from the 12l/100k drivers about the 2l/100km bikes...

Me and wifey have a bike each and 1 car between us - do we put the car on one license only or if we put it on both do we both pay for it (double the cost). All good for 1 vehicle 1 person but I see all sorts of problems re ownership of and multi use of vehicles by a number of people. What then also if you drive a fleet car or company vehicle as well. All goes back to registration of vehicle.

[Quasievil]

I say if you play a sport i.e rugby, snow skiing Cycling etc etc or drive on the road on anything you must have a NZ Road/Sport accident cover card (ACC Card) everybody has one kids adults anyone who is involved in a accident prone activity..............so when you turn up to the ski field, race track, rugby field you no have card you no play, therefore its not just the motorist paying for everybody.

Relising of course that sports people are motorists, but it does capture a greater demographic ie, young and old and non vehicle license holders.

I bet that would cover the current looses.

Whats more also the whole thing should be privatised and competitive with a few players in the market, the government cant EVER run a corporation in the black, privatisation is key
