Cause and effect of ACC tax (Levy)
My first ever post, so be gentle - I'd rather be out riding than on computa...
Firstly in regards to the bigger picture if this tax went through it would have a several effects:
Riders would sell their bikes flooding the market so no new sales
Riders would not register their bikes so loss of registration meaning increase in registration to cover the loss of the bike registrations
Riders would only register for a couple of months (summer)
Your more likely to make a claim if its costing you $750 a year, so claims up
Motorcycle and scooter sales would slump meaning loss of businesses and jobs in these sectors
Unless bike is insured loss of dedicated motorcycle insurance companies
More traffic on the roads
Less parks/parking
On another subject, haven't publicly heard from the motorcycle manufacturers who could be the biggest losers in all of this if this goes through.
Yay! First post done
