The reason for compulsary 3rd party overseas is primeraly for medical care. Do a search.

So? This is NZ we're talking about. ACC is for personal injury. Third Party Insurance is for damage to other's property. World of difference.

[terbang]

Umm, ACC only covers people - not property!
Comparing Acc to CTP insurance is like comparing gorillas to Boeing 737's - a futile exercise, indeed!

Huh, someone mention a 737? Boy racer machine if I ever saw one...

What is CTP Insurance?
CTP Insurance indemnifies vehicle owners and drivers who are legally liable for personal injury to any other road user in the event of a motor vehicle accident. Your CTP Insurance will cover you for personal injury claims made against you by other road users such as drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and pillion passengers.
It is a compulsory form of insurance and the CTP premium is included in your registration payment.



Does CTP Insurance cover damage to property or other vehicles?
No. CTP Insurance only covers personal injury to another party where a legal liability can be established.


It will not cover injuries to the driver where that driver is at-fault.
Your CTP policy does not give you any entitlement to claim damages for your own injuries. If, as a driver, you are injured and wish to make a claim, you must establish negligence against another owner/driver and claim against their CTP policy.

CTP or compulsory third party insurance has been the norm in Australia for quite a while.

IIRC my first car was a 1.4l Corolla and the CTP on that was in the order of $350. Full comprehensive insurance set me back almost $900 at age 18. By 25 it was down to approx $400.

Price these idiot "car enthusiasts" or "boy racers" off the road.

Has anyone got any arguments as to why NZ should not adopt a CTP scheme?

CTP insurance is a great idea. As Helen why we won't have it - votes.

Why cant they just crash into that lampost and die?

Some of them do.

Or, they crash into their 'starter' and kill them instead, or innocent party-goers, eventually they'll do the gene pool a favour and all drive off a cliff like the car advertisement. (Also depicting a heap of shit.)

I like acc, when I crash I don't have to pay for much. Like when the wasp was in my helmet, Good luck suing a wasp.

Aahhh, the joys of the internet eh? Most of us who don't actually know RM are probably wondering if he is serious or not...without facial expressions, tone of voice, etc we just don't know if he's taking the piss or if he is actually a blundering fool.

Yeah but just say it was a bee and sue the bee keeper.

America - FUCK YEAH!

And what about when somone pours deisl on the road?

[Motu]

They've no where to go!

What the fuck is Meremere drag strip then?

That's exactly why Meremere drag strip is there.In the late '60 the only drag strip was a dirt strip at Kopuku,east of the power station.....I remember going there as a teenager,cars went down the strip in a cloud of dust that got in your eyes.Bikes with dirt tyres used to put in some damn good times.But the hot rod boys wanted to race on a real drag strip - and through their volunteer efforts the Auckland and Waikato regions have had a drag strip for 35 years.The boy racers of that era got off their arse and fucking DID IT THEMSELVES!!!!

Motu has hit the nail on the head.
Instead of being disruptive little wankers to all and sundry, they only need to liaise with their communities. Most regions would help out if a sensible case and proposal was presented. But don't expect it to be done for them.

You may be right, however, a point of difference is that we are not overseas
A CTP insurance, if ever introduced in NZ, would probably not replace ACC, but would cover property damage, much like voluntary third party insurance does now!
You aren't Finnish, by any chance are you?

[SPman]

So, is any of this new?
Youths - check
Hormones - check
Fast cars (for the era - or horses,wagons,chariots) - check
Reckless disregard for their own, or anyone else's safety. - check
Competitiveness - check
Stupidity - check
Outraged disapproval of their elders and society, society as we know it will vanish up its arse in a puff of smoke unless SOMEBODY does SOMETHING, they scared the children, horses, me, etc etc etc - check

Hmmmm....nothing's changed in 3000 years!

[Hitcher]

This whole thing is just a massive over-reaction. Just like "global warming". Three deaths (all pedestrians) in as many weeks should not a "crisis" make.

[Swoop]

Price these idiot "car enthusiasts" or "boy racers" off the road.

At the VERY least, stop these loansharks from being able to give them the $$'s to buy these pieces of crap!
You crash your POS jap crap? Shame, just pay it back at $1.75 per week... NOT!
New plan. "You want to borrow dosh to buy a jap crapper? No problems! Meet our repayment person. His name is Maurice and he will make you squeel like a pig for days if you even miss ONE payment. Capiche?"

...is like comparing gorillas to Boeing 737's

Both have a monkey in charge? (sorry terbang! Couldn't resist...)

You mean he ISN'T on your ignore list?
