Acc levies - huge cuts

[Voltaire]

I've said it before - the AA is about the least honest outfit in NZ. It used to be a trusted friend of the motorist but it changed and its not an association or a club anymore. It is a vile corporate that exists only to feed itself through its commercial endeavours. How the fuck they have managed to writhe and wiggle into a position where they are the voice of the NZ motoring public is simply beyond me... They forget that most motorcyclists are also drivers and my hope is that no motorcycle owning driver will NEVER use them or their services EVER and to encourage your families and friends to shun them as well...

The AA is rabidly anti motorcycle. They need sorting out....

( I have to confess to being an AA member)

State offer roadside assistance....

Its pretty grim when you offer State as a fairer alternative than the AA

We have State Roadside for our car, which came free with our non-State car insurance. I never use it, but the wife has used it once when she's left the interior light on and flattened the battery...

They seem to be good, but don't appear to cater to motorcycles.

I provided a submission on the ACC levy changes, to the effect that power-to-weight, or at least power output, should be used as a method of divining their levies, as the current 600cc threshold doesn't make sense.

Got a bullshit answer about the 'data not being available' despite the fact that power output is already a field in the MVR data and most registered bikes already have that data filled in.

Rule #1 - things will get worse before they get better.
Rule #2 - who said things were going to get better?
