Has anyone been pulled up for a nice chat by the Police and ACC?

[Scuba_Steve]

I'd like to see more of it, there are far too many unregistered, un warranted crapheaps on our roads & piss poor drivers that need a wake up call . Well done & ACC, this is a move in the right direction IMHO.

I'd like to see less of it until they setup a system where we can all pay our FAIR share.

I have a couple of vans, couple of bikes, a landrover & a car. They can get fucked if they think I'm paying for all those vehicles.
The van's get used maybee 10-20 weekends at best thats less than 40 days of the year yet they expect damm near 600$ each for them.
The landrover is used as a landrover should, "Off-road" but is driven to & from the "fun", again a few weekends out of the year & they expect near 300$ for that.
I can only use 1 bike at a time yet they expect over 400$ for one & over 500$ for the other.
So I pay 1 bike (the more expensive one) & the car This I consider more than my FAIR share & they can get fucked if they think I'm paying anymore.

OK thats my rant on the subject

fully hearing ya... thats why I posted further back paying Rego/acc on and with ya drivers licence, only an indervidual wof per vehicle.
For now buy a X plate costs the same and can be put on any similer vehical, 'colector' is the reason for needing the plate.
Traveled the island on one (note the plate) however ya not ment to travel further than 200k from home or something.

I read it fine, I was pointing out that they are also targeting other road users as well.
The camper vans would have got anyone exceeding the speed limit, the media spin was that they were targeting bikes

Media spin yeah ok

Doesn't work either; many people have a licence but don't actually drive or ride, or not much.

Per km like RUC might work.

Fuckers would wind back the kms though!!!

Plus that would mean for people living in the wops they'd end up paying more even though they are in a much less likely to crash area just because they drive further.

Good point didnt think bout that...
OK this will rark a few up, REGO is a small fee per vehicle, ACC is an indervidual insurance, if ya choose to wear a snglet crash and claim... higher premium, If like me and never used acc a cheaper premium. Choose not to pay then arseholed out of the hospital (or at least back of the cue)
Great aye simple to, now Im not having to pay for all the half wits out there.

ACC is an indervidual insurance,

No

It's not

It is a universal compensation scheme. Which is COMPLETELY different

The National party wants you to THINK that it is an insurance scheme, but you're brighter than that yes?

took the tiger 110 out for a quick scoot around the block, what do you know, ran into the local popo.After checking and telling me I had no rego or warrant(Yes i knew), he threw me a hi-viz vest and saftey pack and said If you put the hi-viz on and go straight home, there will be NO fines.

Take away all the other ACC collection points, and put it all in fuel. Bike sitting in the garage (or lounge room) don't get taxed while they are unused. You can't ride without fuel. The more you ride, the more exposure, the more you pay. The more aggressively you ride, the more fuel you use and the greater risk, but also the more ACC you're contributing. Covers the offroad folks, too. And if a mate borrows a bike, again it's using fuel so contributes.

Plus has the side effect of encouraging more efficient use of fuel.
