    Thats what I have also said... and they would make millions... over a period of time they should be able to lower the actual levy's for cars and bikes as most would be made this way... (i can't find figures anywhere yet to work out how much was earnt via traffic infringments to do any calculations)

    and also small $5 levy on the WoF would also generate well over 42m a year

    Simply put there are better ways of raising the required funds they are wanting, other than just targeting one small group.

    That is better....dont know about the 100% but certainly a percentage of the fine, comes down to, if you want to risk your life then be prepeared to pay for that risk (if indeed you get caught)....a 'risk surcharge' if you will?

    Les mate, your relaxed style does you and us all credit.

    The impartial message from listeners would be that the proposals don't seem to be fair and BRONZ is seeking clarification/correction to a fairer system.

    I suspect we are quite lucky that the proposals are as outrageous as they are.

    Les Mason on National Radio

    This guy should be our spokesperson. He makes a lot of sense for a Neanderthal.

    Meh. He's not as good as Ixion.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Excellent job Les,

    You speak very well and with reasoned arguments. Difficult to see how anyone could object to anything you said
