I had two letters from ACC recently which I usually open with some trepidation.
Both had cheques ( remember them) for a total of around $600 for overpaid ACC when I had my own business* back in the mid 00's.
I then had to go to an actual bank and queue up to deposit it like back then too.
Hey ACC....its 2018, whats with posted letters and cheques?
At least you can your speeding tickets via internet banking.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Interesting, but i'd prefer some more noise around multiple bikes under one owner getting an ACC discount! Or maybe having ACC component become part of license renewal fee instead.
Ya - play the ball not the player
Don't take offence, but I would expect an instructor to say that.
How do ACC define 'best' though? I would have thought it was an easy matter for them, the 'best' riders are those who don't cause them paperwork. That's where it all gets out of whack. There should be some recognition of past riding and claim history, not simply recognition of doing a course in the previous 12 months, which is surely no guarantee that said rider won't be making a claim.The best riders I know are the ones who constantly seek to improve.
I came across KB about ten years ago due to those fuckers at the ACC. The only thing that has changed is that I am now paying even more to subsidise all the fuckwits out there. And I still want my $30 back.
It just feels wrong as it was my money in the first place. If they called it a discount and worked it the other way then perhaps I would feel different. Nah, on reflection I wouldn't.
I think past claims help predict future claims. While I don't disagree that most will have improved skills the day after the course than the day before when you look at the self inflicted stupid shit that causes some of the crashes I have my doubts that this is a magic bullet.
