I don't think it works like that... The crazy arse cyclists that get injured don't pay acc levies, neither do the social sports players, the hikers, the boaties etc.

I don't think there are many " crazy arse cyclists" who don't own a car, and if they don't that's one less vehicle on the road.
ACC say its a " No Fault" scheme, therefore everyone should pay the same.
I'd cycle more but for the 'crazy arse vehicles" driven by the inattentive, the amount of car and worse truck drivers I see on the phone is frightening.
They should fit some sort of blocker to vehicles so you just can't use the fucking phone.
rant over

If you own more than one bike, say you lost the plates of one of the bikes, get as many extra plates as you need reproduced, rego that one bike, put the same plate on all of your bikes. Put the other regos on hold. 90% of cops won't know the difference, and just say you've been modifying it if you get a smart cop.

Of find a similar bike to yours in town parked outside of the pub, steal their number plate, they can get a new one, then slap the plate on your bike, use the random bikes rego.

I could see akzle doing that....

what is this, gang up on akzle week or something?

i wouldn't, because that would fuck up someone elses day, and i just dont claim that right. i would, however, not register shit and tell cops to gtfo.

For those of you that don't rego your bikes, be aware that the police are using auto plate recognition camera's in their cars these days that are programmed to alert the poppo that the plate is not rego'd

Mount plate on angle or use infrared number plate bulbs. Problem solved.

But IS IT, though? I'd imagine (because I don't know what the facts are, and can't be bothered digging for them) that an awful lot of sportspersons have an awful lot of physio for strains, sprains, bruising, etc. How much ACC do they pay? Is it proportionate to the claims / costs/ risks?
I've been riding a motorbike for over 40 years, and I reckon my ACC claim costs for injuries received would be a fraction of the fees I've paid. On the other hand, I had over nine months of physio for a 'medical misadventure' that is bound to have recurring costs for years (possibly forever), because my shoulder's still fukt.

They pay ACC on their car rego.[/cyclist mode]

True, but thinking about it are not the risks of a bicycle higher than a car?.

I just read a article/rant in the Vintage Car mag saying cyclists should have rear vision mirrors instead of relying on the motorist.

seemed reasonable to me.

t an awful lot of sportspersons have an awful lot of physio for strains, sprains, bruising, etc. How much ACC do they pay?

1.45% of their income up to a threshold ($118k) then nothing more after that

Question??? If all bike riders paid registration would there be a decrease in levies as the Fund would be more than sufficient?

If so are all these so called rebels costing us people that are registering?

[tri boy]

I despair that riders are actually debating this.
they, ( the powers that be) are fucking you up the arse, and yet, you debate it.
Just ride, wether you can afford a paper slip or not.

You can't get replacement plates as such. They cancel that number combination and give you a new one

And one perfectly legal vehicle that was declined because the front tyres were unwarrantable.

Well, the second part of that sentence contradicts the first part...... So, they were quite within their rights not to pay out.

no. YOU are costing you. By choosing to purchase it.
