New rego cost change?

[nzspokes]

Na na still riding, being on hold doesn't mean you can't ride, just means more money in your pocket for fuel and a the odd latte'

And when/if you get caught you get demerits as well as the fine.

First rule of thumb, don't attract attention. Rego is on hold, so technically, the bike is still registered.

In my case its a 84 v8 landrover is the same as a newish top shelf car.

Probably because it fares well in crashes...

...but fucks everything else

Apparently only the font end of the Landy was damaged

My Hyundai has air bags / ABS / roll bar / side door beams...
But there web site says there's no test rating for it..
So it's at the full rate...

You don't say what year or model your Hyundai is. Hyundai used to have a low rating. Low as in rock bottom.
They're better in most other respects than they were, so their safety rating should be better too.

To see if things had changed I just checked the http://www.ancap.com.au/safety-ratings site and most i30s have a five star rating but there are a couple of years that drop to four. See how yours goes.

This article in yesterday's NZHerald may help explain things...

I'll only have to pay ACC $68.46 per year for my 2005 Legacy so that should offset some of the cost of my bike levy

Bugga! Mine was double that. It has lotsa airbags and all wheel drive blah blah blah, but I think maybe they didn't like the twin turbos?

Try driving a van that those blardy couriers love. I swear it's them and their bad driving that's put my 2008 Hiace in Band 4...

Camper vans won't help your case either...

Everything I ride or drive is old - so automatically in Band 4

I like the old simple stuff

So bugger them, I'll just keep driving - the difference in costs is so insignificant it aint going to make any difference to me
