    ACC motorcyclist survey

    .
    .


    I received a letter yesterday from BRC Marketing and Social Research, on behalf of ACC. They are doing some research with NZ motorcyclists, and "randomly selected your details from the LTSA's Motor Vehicle Register".

    They may be contacting me over the next couple of weeks to make a time to do a short telephone survey.

    Anyone else had one of these?

    I'll post when I've done the survey.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Nope, but I used to work for BRC as a telephone interviewer - ys I was 1 of those annoying people who would alsways call up at dinner time and do a "5 minute" survey that takes 25 minutes.

    BRC are a good lot though and generally the times they say their telephone surveys take are accurate.

    Let us know what sort of questions they're asking you.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    A freind of mine got one. I wonder if he fits their demographic- he's 50+
    EDIT: Wooops- haven't met you Linda. Not suggesting you're 50+....not that there's anything wrong with that...oh crap.

    I received the letter a few weeks ago, and the phone call a couple of nights ago.

    There I was ready to answer questions in the aid of motorcycling....

    ....but they only needed responses from people under 25 as they'd already filled their over 25 quota!

    Tells you something about the rider demographic!

    Is one of the questions "Do you mind that we upped the ACC levy on bikes to twice that of cars the same week it was revealed we were paying Private Investigators to spy on, and video tape, our clients?"

    If so, are options: "A) NO, Don't mind; B) Of course not; C)Go Hard, You Guys Rock; D) Hit us with more Levies, please, we have too much money."

    Telephone surveys? Luxury.

    I tried cold-call insurance telemarketing on commission once (I got paid $20 for each person who agreed to make an appointment with the broker). I was young and poor and needed the cash.

    I still feel slightly unclean about it.

    This has caused a permanent shift in my ideas as to the depths to which people will stoop in the pursuit of the demon coin. Have you tried solvol and a wire brush yet??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    More like 25 init

    Yea i got a letter too, might have something to do with being on ACC at the mo, did a survey a couple of years ago to, but can't remember what the hell it was about, dont think it's anything to do with age as i'm 12 but it might come into it at some point.

    Yes I got the letter and have answered the survey (must have been one of the 50+s to fill up the quota). Opening speel by the interviewer was a bit off ie "are you aware that motorcyclists are 10x more likely to have a road accident than other road users". The rest of the questions were mostly about are you aware of what safety gear can be used and how much do I use. Open section at end for comments so said that some people ride for 25+ years with no mishaps and it is a good thing for the import duty to be removed from mbike helmets and it should be removed from all bike safety gear.

    Hope someone is listening.
