    No increases for any specific group in NZ...MC or otherwise.

    Its a no fault system irrespective of who you are or what you do.

    Wink Fuel is best

    I come from south africa, We pay a fuel Levi wich is great as the more you ride the more you pay. It's imporant to have some kind of funding if some tosser bashes you. Why should we pay more, charge the cars more they take up more space and cause most bike accidents!!!!!:

    This is the best option.....unless you are a govt. preparing ACC to be sold off.

    Reality is they are two totally different things
    Note: Income insurance and Health insurance is still cheaper than having 2 bikes and a car in NZ.
    Talk to the private insurers if you don't believe me.

    Also I get a lump sum payment if my health means I have to stop work. Where as ACC just drip feeds (to an indefinite period!) if I can't work. We have unemployment benefit for that kind of stuff.

    Also if your really smart - you can claim back you Kiwisaver in times of hardship.

    So far I see most want things to stay as they are but I think they are missing the point. If ACC levies are based on fuel usage the large proportion of the fees will fall on cars which are more thirsty and so use more petrol. Bikes on the otherhand will pay a lot less.

    It also means that those dip$hit$ who don't register their cars and bikes will pay their fair share rather than bludging off the rest of us.

    Where's the option for "Single (transferable) ACC levy"?
    Something that pays for any accident coverage but can be moved from vehicle to vehicle. (cars + bikes).
