ACC give me great rates on some of my bikes, I think my weekend go to bike is less than $60 a year to register.
Must be the additional safety of under 50 BHP and Lockheed brake.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
The levy is not compulsory. You do not HAVE to pay the levy on your vehicle's annual licence. You can "not licence your vehicle" and so avoid paying the levy. However, by doing that you can not use your vehicle on a public road.
It is a levy because that is what it is called in the ACC Act. I strongly suspect the Owen Woodhouse used that word to show that it was a compensation scheme and not an insurance policy.
You are not really arguing that the levies [please not the spelling of the plural] are "set at an unfair level for those of us with a no "at fault" history". I'd suggest you are arguing that you have been unfairly treated by having to pay such levies.
Before we go any further... have you ever claimed for ACC as a result of any of your "not at fault" crashes?
If you have claimed and been treated to medical care and wage compensation by ACC then I'd suggest that you are being grossly ingenuous - in other words a whining little weasel!
My reasoning is not warped... but my "does not tolerate fools gladly" has been known to go into warp-drive...
Please read my comment above about "being compulsory"...
As I am sure has been explained before, the way that ACC sets levies is set out in the Act under which it operates. The corporation is also directed by the Minister as to how it should act. The way the Act is written means that the levies are set in a particular manner which is different to the manner in which insurance companies set their premiums. If ACC was to change to a "not at fault" charging methodology then the Act would need to be amended.
It possibly did do so... however, it would be for a group - read for that, forestry workers - rather than for individuals. I think it was not so much "claim free" but rather that the injuries those involved in that industry suffered cost less to rehabilitate than the cost for those injured in other industries.
Finally, this thread was an interesting, thoughtful and though-provoking discussion until you came along and started on your " mid-life crisis" and/or "not at fault" mantras. I have bitten my tongue over your continual rabbiting on until I could no longer suffer either the pain in my tongue or the blood in my mouth... If you have something to say, please make it worthwhile and on-topic or keep out of the discussion.

Dumb down the roads and the end result is dumbing down the vehicle operators ... and some are dumb enough already.
Regardless of road conditions ... many wont know what the facts are. Or care. Until they prang. Then ... the "I wasn't speeding" line is heard.
There have been quite a few threads started in these forums about "their" crash ... with all the blame going in every direction but inwards.
Every road is safe if you ride and drive it to the (road) conditions on the day. Riding(or driving) any road ... while assuming it is in the same condition as the last time you rode (or drove) it (at speed) two years previous ... is expecting a lot.
I worry about stuff ON the road ... not the stuff off the road. The stuff on the road is more likely to give me trouble.
If I have time ... I take the long way.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
There is two actually ... one called "Fines" and the other "reparation" ... with a possible addition of court costs ...
Roads are only as safe as those using it ... we look at your advice on road craft ... and cringe.
And by the way ... You are a fuckwit ...
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
no 71.....
Investment in the Ride Forever skills training programme has seen 7,950 riders
participate in the skills training programme since 2013. Preliminary results are very
encouraging with a 50% reduction in entitlement claims and a 24% reduction in
medical fees, per 1,000 riders.
now imagine if everybody would be doing skill training.....
not only motorcyclistas, but also cagers.
that would at least be a start....
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
