Well bikers are screwed - ACC levy

[James Deuce]

so this is where this goes wrong
does any one have the stats on how many scooters are involved in Accidents vs learners on 250 and below then big bikes?

this would be interesting as most scooter riders dont wear proper gear and therefore have more injuries.

if there are more accidents on scooters and claims they should pay more and even this out

I posted the stats a few pages back.

Just a thought..

But what if motorcyclists, en masse, refuse to pay it?

I suppose the obvious is that they wouldn't cover any motorcycle accidents.. but 'power in the people' man!

The french govt tried to ban smoking in pubs, in france (go figure), the people ignored the legislation.. eventually the govt had to accept that the legislation wasn't going to work.

the problem is kiwis are pussies and will just fall into line

So how do we stop these fuckers fucking us over, any real suggestions?

[glanvillejon]

Perhaps you should pull your fucking head out of your arse.

I said it about the cheesecutter campaign and the same applies here - until motorcyclists are seen to be accepting of the fact that we have created a lot of the woes that befall us there is no hope of us getting any process reversed.

watever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stats are good. Be good to collect stats on how ACC collate motorcycle accidents. I'm sure plenty farm workers fall off quad bikes, the nursey ticks the "motorcycle accident tick box" and then the farm worker claims ACC, rehab etc for the next 10 years.

For Nick Smith this is a double edged weapon.

1.Address an anomaly 'bikers have more accidents and drain the ACC fund'

2. 'Sort out the "organised criminals*" who happen to generally ride bikes -big capacity bikes'

*heard this on the radio today..

[chrispy121]

also if a motorcycle goes off the road and the accident is caused by unmarked road works can we now sue the council for our acc levie as they might have caused the accident to begin with.


there are a lot of arguments but I agree with some on here we need to arrange a protest ride and everone needs to come together and fight this.

Ya reckon , I don`t think so

[Lias]

I havnt been this ragingly angry in years..

Right now pretty much all I can think about is maiming politicians and ACC employees.

Lets see the fuckers try and take my money when we cut their fucking fingers off.

[Bangbug]

watever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I reckon mate, it's only when it's a minority they THINK they can pick on do they do it. TAX MAORI WOMEN more because they smoke more.
Oh wait. that's discrimination.
TAX MOTORCYCLISTS MORE.... oh wait.... that's..... what's that again?

[Brian d marge]

You do realize that the govt isn't expecting this amount to actually happen

the have an agenda , they will be followed through , if not by this government , but by the next

if you are lucky this year ACC will go up by say half .... but it will happen

The cops would probably do more checks at random from now on, so anytime...

So thus actively target a particular road user group....isn't that illegal?
