How many motorcycle riders?

[peasea]

Interesting results, expected from a government department however.

This is the thing that cracks me up, stats like this being used in this way!
One can't assume 487,000 class 6 licence holders are current riders can they?
The only true way is by registerd vehicles by type.

So all those who have a tin top license are active drivers and drive a tin top?

To compile facts and projected data in this way is nothing short of a joke, remember they would have used this figure to plead for more money in acc levies as bods to cover for......
so to take it the next step lets all all class types up, car, bike, ht, rollers, tracks etc etc suddenly NZ pop would rise and acc would end up having to cover 6 million ppl...

Typical stats like this mess up and muddy the waters of the actual results needed, muppets.

That's the way of the world though. Sadly.

BIG props though to the TWO 85 year olds on their learners!

And the TWO 91 year old disqualified dudes.

I'm sure the muppets haven't thought of their mistake this way.... add up all classes by type, car, bike, ht, rollers, tracks etc etc suddenly NZ pop would rise and we'd have 6 million.

To make this clear, I was the one that asked for this data. My questions have been outlined in earlier posts. I asked for the number of licenses held in class 6, then I asked if they had an age demographic and what about disqualified licenses. I got the information I asked for. I have to assume this information is factual, though I dont feel I need to test it at this point. Nothing untoward here mate, this is raw data, I have no reason to suspect it has been massaged in anyway. I am Joe Citizen here and asked for some information. I received it.

And the TWO 91 year old disqualified dudes.

Massively naughty individuals! Imagine disqualified at that age, probably had a whoopsie in the trusty old tin tank and got forbidden, bless them. Lots of cool stuff in there for sure.

hey not having a go at ya, your doing good as far as I'm concerned as they mentioned in the dvd they mentioned that many riders right?
I should have a copy of the dvd turn up tomorrow all going well.

Mom your doing good in my books.

I would be curious to know how many people wouldnt have thier bikes regestered when these figures were done. i dont rego mine in winter. lmao This would surely account for some of the difference between no of licence holders and registered bikes.

i always have my rego on hold,for the last 20+years anyway.
i guess i'm just lucky to not be pulled up.fekin taxes

Hmmmmmm, a new question in the making....How many Motorcycle registrations are there on hold? I am liking this information gathering thing.

If the figure is correct then the accident rate (per ten thousand) is likely to be incredibly small and blows the ACC case for motorcycle levies out of the water, does it not?

Who knows how ACC gather their data, though first visits to doctors has to be top of the info gathering list here. I have no idea where I am going with this, call it a fact gathering excercise at this stage.

So if there are 4,000,000 people in NZ and 600,000 of them are too young to hold a licence then around 15% of people of licence age are bikers. If we represent 5% of the accidents then we are paying too much for our ACC levies.

Hmmmmm....do we go to the media or a lawyer with this info?

I think we should go international
