    Is this thread gonna be as epic as the last... you made the other one didn't you (yeah yeah, fucked if I can remember what that was).

    If so... don't mind me, just a placemarker to say I've been in an epic thread. Personally, I'm over the stupid little tickets, so it's easier to have the bike rego'd and wof'd.

    Same people that are paying when the offroad bikers crash.

    1st Correlation does not imply causation, your assumption we'd be paying less if everyone paid (logically yes, real world no)
    Personal ACC? your going the wrong way. I don't want to see private insurance I like the ACC idea, 'everyone pays cover for everyone'

    As for disregard for the rest? no, I highly doubt it. rebelling against "taking the stick" more likely. But given your view on it & the way people view/argue ACC funding. I'd say the Govts divide & conquer is working quite well

    Scummie starts a thread once a month. It may be related to his menstrual cycle. Tee hee.

    The only way to check a riders D/L is to stop and confirm the riders ID first, then do the check. It's wrong to assume that the registered person (new term in law, BTW) is riding.

    But then, this is KB, and wrong never seems to matter.

    Depends on the post count per page that one has set as their KB preference...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Yeah, my SMART device is smarter than me. Thing is, it can do stuff I can't, but it can't attend crashes, sudden deaths, domestics, shoplifters, yaadee yaadee yaadee.

    Sack the Popos, employ lots more machines, then call it the MoT.
