$522.96 - a complete bargain and i only wish I could pay more

And this rubbish about end of private ownership when driverless cars come in. People will look back and laugh at the prophets in the same way as the paperless office didn't happen as it ignores convenience and humannature.

It's not rubbish, dammit! Well, maybe I overstated it a little, but for the average city-dweller there'll be no point in 'owning' a driverless car. Much better to subscribe to a service like 'uber' which will send a car to them on request, take them where they want to go for a minimal charge, then bugger off. Don't have to worry about parking, garages, maintenance, keeping the car's OS up to date (which will be quite important I'm thinking) etc. That sounds like it would appeal to most people's human nature.

On top of that, the safest way to integrate driverless cars into traffic will be to gradually remove the still-being-driven cars from the software equation. You know, by increasing ACC levies for the owner's of 'dangerous' self-driven cars, for example.

ACC is a fantastic and comprehensive accident insurance scheme...

If it's insurance, where's my massive no claims bonus?? Methinks it's only an 'insurance' scheme when it suits the suits paid massive amounts to run it.

Wonder how much money the country would have saved if the scheme had been allowed to continue unchanged in it's original form. Quite 'disruptive' in it's day, and look how that turned out.

I create my own 'No Claims Bonus' by having the rego on hold for as long as I can get away with it. ACC don't actually pay me the bonus, they just don't receive it.

Yes if you live in the cbd no car needed. For the other 99% we'll all decide we want to go to work at the same time. Hey maybe we should all take public transport like we don't now.

I've gotten way more from ACC than I'll ever pay out to them.....unfortunately


I think what we pay is fair, my only beef is with pushbikers...no rego or WOF and they get their own lanes for peddlin down, and they wear lycra

Other than the Lyca I think its great that they make lanes for pushbikes, each one takes a phone fiddlin', knob twiddlin' Cager off the road , in fact instead of a fine they should impound cars for a month and give them pushbikes.

concur. You think you're pretty cool when you're on a motorbike but the pedal cyclists are the number one double hard bastards on our roads. Absolutely exposed to every fuckwit on the road, a stupid and mostly pointless helmet, and wearing lycra. Y'all are pussies

[Moi]

... and they wear lycra

Tell you what... put on some lycra, stand in front of the mirror and take a photo...

then post here for us all to have bloody good laugh...




You gotta have the figure for lycra...

the only thing wrong with that outfit is the FUCKING BIRKENSTOCKS WITH MOTHERFUCKING SOCKS. FUCCCCCCCKKKK

[YellowDog]

There seems to be a black hole in the rego system. You can fail/forget to renew it for a month and then after a put it on hold for 3 months. When you renew, there's no arrears No idea why, but very pleased about it

Only if you do so within 28 days. Those days get deducted off your next renewal.

I used to put a year's rego on the Ducati as my birthday present to myself

But since it has gone up, I worked out that it was costing me around around $50 a ride - an absolute ripoff

So now a just keep her WoF'ed and run the risk

Its not long until she is eligable for the "classic" registration - I'll reconsider then

I do keep the DRZ up to date with both reg and wof

One option is to rego it then but on hold week latter not sure how long can be on hold few years i suspect.

If you get stoped i have never been on a bike opps i forgot or am on test ride witll do that this avro ;-)


Well as long got one done i say thats fair , had my vfr 750 back on raod after brought of tm very damaged passed with

Flying colours. since through lack funds it de reg plate goes after one year suxs. was 2 years. bloody revnue collectors.

any ones intrested 133.00 for re vin and inspection for a bike plus plate and i think 6 months rego.

car is 414.00 plus on raod coasts. car a full day left at a ispection place . i have to do both car and bike.

Also checked brake cert mis qoute is as i thought bs it applys to only drum brakes .

what year is bike considered a classic . ;-) when leaks oil and burns it ;-) then csll it british

or wiring is like sapgetti Itailian .classic

I'll confirm that tomorrow ��

Trouble with that though is that levies would have to go up. They still need X amount of money to cover accidents and if you're dividing that amount by the number of licence holders instead of the number of vehicles then it's a higher pro rata rate. Mate.

Just occured to me too though that it would be unfair on another level. Mrs Oakie and I have a car. Should we pay the same amount each as a single person with one car? When you get down to that level, levying by the licence holder is unworkable if your trying to provide a fair system.

I surpose i chould bang on all day next week its system we have for know . i agree whould be unfair to you and your wife.

Acc is a rip of they making billions investing surplus in private sector . i never made acc claim in my life time.

Apart from my dad claimed on my behalf for clothing i damaged in bike crash ;=-) not saying he rip up his best suit just saying.

They tryed make out my helmet chould be tested yeah right good luck that boys .caled there bluff

[actungbaby]

I'm paying the highest bracket on 4 cars due to their classification...

At least the bike needs a rebuild so is on hold.... oh...

God tell me about engine is upside down on desk while parts bill climbs in my head ;-)
