More cyclists moaning about car drivers

[RDJ]

DIY accidents cost $641 million and they don't pay ACC levies either. So what's your point?

Govt is singling out groups and targeting them for extra ACC levies when the scheme was set up as no-fault. Right now Four Wheels Good, Two (EnginePowered) Wheels Bad, Two (HumanPowered) Wheels Good. Won't last; the Govt will come for the cyclists pretty soon methinks. As for DIYers, can plate cyclists and motorcyclists to ID them on the road; DIYers not so much. (Although doubtless some Beehive Smurf is thinking of a way to bill DIYers... perhaps a special GST on paint and wallpaper... )

You either don't own a diesel powered vehicle or haven't noticed the rise in RU charges.
Also the work place acc levies have gone up.
To think only bikes have been targeted is a bit off.

And it's a bit spoilt brat to complain about something being unfair like our ACC levies and then pointing at others saying "how come they don't have to pay".

Either the levies are fair or they are not. If they're not fair then we should be against them full stop.

I do not think only bikes are targeted and the business I work for gets hit by both the charges you mention. I was confining my comments to individual users like us. As for Usarka's comment - the people who do not have to pay have no financial skin in the game. If they did pay, they might care... if IYO that is the viewpoint of a spoilt brat, you might be projecting...
