Round here, St John do an exellent job of getting you to hospital, if needed a chopper gets you to Dunedin within an hour. No need for private A&E here...
Better start looking for decent insurance then... Mine is, plenty of cover in all those areas.... You get what you pay for.
Some people get lucky... even the dumb and stupid twats... one of those squids may, or may not prang, or the careful rider may get taken out by a squid cage driver, or not. Can't pick where or when...no matter how hard we try.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
But that's the point - when you have to be choppered to Hospital - who is paying? I can't fault anyone for crashing (god knows I've done it enough times), but crashing without proper gear is just dumb. You can't pick where or when but let's be prepared...
The post I was replying to was some Nuppty who somehow thought that having health insurance had owt to do with ACC levies...
Mark, considering the amount of silly shit you have been busted doing or told us about, this really is the pot calling the kettle black. But I take it you have nothing better to do? Man Ive been offline since the 16th of last month and this is the first thread on todays posts. Some things just dont change...![]()
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
Yes, riding in shorts and jandals is fucking stupid.
Yes, it pisses me off that my tax dollars are wasted on morons.
(However, I don't usually post in these ATGATT threads - I've got even bigger fuckwits to fry).

The people who pay are ALL tax paying people, that have/are paying tax in New Zealand. If ACC payment of medical costs and expenses, plus ACC benifits paid to individuals (2/3's of wage) the ACC levies in rego etc, would not cover it.
I do dumb things, even at work, in an attempt to do it the quick way. Not always with complete success, and not always without pain... Payouts may seem good, but usually involve lots of PAIN... or loss of body parts. NOT my ideal way of getting cash...

No-ones breaking any laws. Every time you get on a bike your taking a risk, gear or not, it's just the consequences are bigger.
If you're really concerned about people wasting your precious tax dollars, there's far bigger targets.
Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
"It would be spiteful, to put jellyfish in a trifle."\m/ o.o \m/
Jaysus, yer not good with context, are you?
Check the first post Einstein -
We're not talking about "bigger targets" and if you want to talk about them we will - just fuck off and start yer own thread.
Nobody is talking about anyone breaking the law.
This is about wankers who cost us money.
Let me put this simply for you - every moron who falls off a bike without proper gear adds to the ACC levy that you get to pay.
