No cut in motorcycle ACC levies

[imdying]

How fucking sifty do you look? I haven't been stopped for years...

That was my thought... do you look like a gang member?

I reckon you're more likely to get pinged from a parking warden than a cop for no rego ( well in Wellington at least ).

Exactly, that is why my shopping trolley stays rego'd and my bike doesn't.

I wonder if the same people who don't pay rego are the same ones who expect some one elses insurance to cover them in an accident
...and whine on KB.

What has rego got to do with insurance?

Might be - more likely they are the ones who already pay ACC cover on their car, their wife's car, at their place of work and on their small home based business...and others. Much like push bikers...

See the cars are getting a cut in the levies but sadly for us bike riders we get nothing......

While they aren't cutting the direct levy on motorcycles, they are looking to cut the levy on petrol ... so there is a proposed reduction.

......I understand the North Island is quite a lot further on in being policed like a Nazi state, but we're still relatively free down here......

You don't think that's a tad hyperbolic? I dont think people are being shipped off in cattle trucks to the next country along to be gassed and then burned to a cinder.
I have to smile when NZ is described in terms of being a police state, I find it very naive. I guess the fact that people have the freedom to say such things without the fear of disappearing the next day is lost on those who subscribe to that line of thought.

ACC is far from perfect. You think those police officers who have private vehicles enjoy paying the ACC levy any more than you do? Sure there are popos who are complete arseholes. Show me a place of work devoid of arseholes. Its election year, when your local candidates come knocking ask them about their stance on this. Police do not make the laws they enforce legislation made by MPs. If you are going to get snotty with anyone let it be the politicians, at least that wont result in fines or demerits.

God you're a boring twat, enjoy some rep.

why thank you

would rather be boring that a complete ignoramus who doesnt know how good he has it. Take your juvenile, 'the world owes me a living' attitude and shove it where the sun doesnt shine.

Is that better?

Is this the first time you've come across somebody who doesn't give a fuck what you're saying, or should I give you further instruction? Perhaps you'd just like to preach some more dribble, cause I'm cool with that too

[TheDemonLord]

there simply aren't very many police in Christchurch. I understand the North Island is quite a lot further on in being policed like a Nazi state,

Probably fair if I'd called you a Nazi for your post, but in reality it's just some off topic old fool wanting to wax lyrical about young whipper snappers, and how when he was a boy during the troubles he knew what a real police state was wah wah

[merv]

Well who thinks their insurance will cover them if they ride on an expired or on hold rego? That is the connection Mr Bogan.
