    New Zealand society has been making a complete joke of the Woodhouse principles for a while now.

    I will counter that question with this.

    If the acc component is relative, to the maximum amount of occupants legally entitled to be in a vehicle, then considering the fact that the average car (5 seats) has 2.5 times the max capacity of a bike (2 seats) then shouldnt cars pay 2.5 times the acc levy since they have a greater likelihood of injuring a greater number of persons?

    Then I bet she will say something along the lines of "car occupants are significantly less likely to be injured than the occupants of a motorcycle in the event of an accident".
