Heres a tip... get your rego updated and get the up to date sticker. then put your bike on hold so you have the sticker but not the guff.

Doesn't go on hold till your rego has expired. I had the same plan a while ago

Try again. I did this a month ago

So how much does that save you or what's the gain???

Hmm, I'll double check but I'm 99% sure the hold only comes into effect once your rego has run out. I've been wrong before though =D

The exemption will take effect from when the current licence or existing exemption expires.

Letting your reg lapse altogether is not a bright idea as you have it have the bike registered as a new bike if left unregistered for a year I think and you would have to pay any back reg owing when selling it.
Its hardly a crimimal offense like you make it out to be though

Good point. Put your rego on hold then your licence won't lapse. I've had a car on hold since 2005. You're supposed to do it once a year but if you get someone nice on the phone they'll make a quick edit on the system for you.
If that's the way he feels he can stick it to the man, then good on him. In the meantime, I don't mind paying my share. It's still much cheaper, faster than a car. No hang on, I moan constantly about the price of regos....

In theory then if you have a motorcycle accident then you should not get 'free' medical care or any ACC payments while off work.

I'd run it that way but the spineless buggers will still cover you and just make the rest of us pay more.

ACC comes from more than rego moron.

It also was supposed to remove blame. So paying for more ACC on a motorbike is a bit counterproductive.
If they can't follow that simple rule I say ditch it. Private insurance isn't that bad (speaking from experience).

I see Hamilton City Council has a car with a plate recognition camera they drive around and record plates in the city centre so the can analyse parking habits, how long till they use it to gather revenue?

Don't bend your plate, or if you have one with 0O get a new plate as they appear exactly the same. Also the new silver fern motif on the reflective part is annoying....


.....I mean I know nothing.....

ACC means
Free rehab (this can extend to tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars)
80% of your wage paid
No personal injury claims allowed by law

All for less than $35 a month!

It was about $400/month last time I checked......
or do you only think ACC comes from Rego too?

Ever wonder how they ended up with $20,000,000,000 in the bank? (yes that is $20 Billion Dollars)

Your question is oddly expressed. I will work under the assumption that your meaning is "...do you think ACC only obtains its funding from Rego?"

No I do not.

The context of what you have quoted was that rego for the OP was $200ish for 6 months which is equivalent to $35 a month. As ACC levy is only part of the rego cost this means for even less than that, the OP is making a reasonable contribution to insuring against the possible costs of injury, rehab and loss of income if they suffer injury whilst riding their motorcycle. At no point did I state or claim that ACC is paid for only by the funds raised by levies on the registration fees for motor vehicles.

Before you quote someone make sure you get it right.

I am glad ACC have money in the bank, that means if I ever have need of the services I contribute to with my levy, I don't have to worry about there not being enough money to fund it. Its a pretty useless insurance company that does not have cash assets to back up the cover its supposed to be providing.

I agree with you to a point Ulstakiwi. My issue with ACC at the moment isn't paying a fee nor them having a bankroll it is the double increase the motorcyclists are having to suffer and bad maths and lies they told to do it. We had an increase in our levies and now the motor vehicle account is nearing its target everyone except us are getting a decrease. We are as much of the motor vehicle account as any one else. Tell me a group of cage drivers that put as much effort in to improving their own road safety as well. Yeah we should pay levies and our rego but only our fair share.

What if the op - or anyone who has rego on hold for the matter....is earning over $100K/year? How much is their ACC then?

What if they have 20 vehicles?

ACC is ripping you off - your are giving it all- and its hilarious to watch.
I quoted your whole statement now - just to show how naive you are.

I pay $528.41 pa for bike rego, out of that, $426.92 is for ACC levies. You can't justifiably protest (verbally) about the levies if you don't pay them ie: forever on hold.

Is that like how non-jewish people couldn't protest the holocaust?
