New ACC levies from 1st July

[SaferRides]

Don't need 20 demerits, perhaps not the best time to buy a Hayabusa.

You'd be very unlucky to get ticketed. My friend the GS rider leaves his bike on hold for 9 months a year and was stopped for speeding a few months ago. The cop never ran the plate, so he only got a speeding ticket. It was his 3rd speeding ticket in 2 years, so just as well!

I've had the same experience after being stopped. They are usually far more interested in checking your licence for some reason.

GS as in GS Suzuki? Probably old enough to get the cheap classic registration.

BMW GS 1250. It's got a few years to go!

Tickets have come in the post for years now. But they don't automatically add WoF and rego tickets if they're expired.

yes but on the roadside they do them on a device, and you'ds be pretty sure the plate automatically comes up with details, they'd be silly not too, and it's up to them what they chose to swipe

I'm careful on main roads with my speed.

That's one of the unintended benefits of what they are doing.

If we are riding on hold, it's likely we will avoiu d doing stuff that draws attention from the federalis.

Thus reducing the speed we normally see by bikes on the open road.

Or Great Scott.

Here you go: Gelände/Straße

No prizes for guessing the meaning...

But does it reduce the accident rate? Is there a box on the form that indicates registration status of a crashed vehicle?

In case anyone in Auckland wants to attend a useless protest...

Mass motorcycle convoy to ‘occupy’ Auckland Harbour Bridge in protest of ‘unfair’ ACC levies

I vaguely recall there was going to be some further differentiation in ACC rates depending on vehicle safety ratings around the same time as the motorcycle changes within the car fleet, funny how that didn't last.

There is a box on the data collected by the Police that becomes the national crash database. I have posted various different analyses of that data on here over the years, including engine size, make and model, rider licence status etc.

The problem is, as far as I understand it, that the ACC take their data from hospital records and as far as vehicle details are concerned they are not going to be as detailed as that collected by the Police. I say that but having never made an ACC motoring claim I don't know what information they collect.

I could update my analysis to the latest data but it only proves what I already know. And in recent years the quality of the national crash database has fallen so far it is really no longer fit for purpose.

IMO engine size on its own is in no way a determinant of crash risk so the whole ACC thinking is flawed from the outset. If you are going down that route you need to be bike specific and you need to take into account the riding history of the person involved but no, no, that's not how ACC works blah blah blah.
