    My email sent to ACC and CC Key and chums (sample attached).

    Remember if you email ACC to include the following or they'll probably ignore it:

    Your submission must include:

    * Your name

    Perhaps we should all do the sensible and safe thing. We could all arrange to take our safe cars to work on the same day at the same time and then all just stop halfway there. Block evry road in and out of all our cities?

    Honestly I can't help feelin' the hypocrisy. All this stuff about global warming and developing initiatives for more environmentally friendly transport, and now we have to pay up to more than 3 times as much as those idiots who drive a car on their own everyday!?!?!?!?

    What would be fair is if they dropped our levy for what we're doing for the environment (which is of course why we all ride motorcycles ), and upped the levys for the car drivers who are CAUSING the accidents, not asking the VICTIMS OF THE CAGERS STUPIDITY to pay more, for being the victim??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

    What BS that the ACC levy for my GN250 is so much more than all those idiots with Skylines?

    Couldn't ACC just cash in its "investments" and sort out their debts?

    Actually, it's the likes of you who are ultimately responsible.

    Your habit of treating public roads like racetracks have finally brought the pigeons home to roost.

    The rest of us can perhaps take a share of the blame for allowing you pillocks to get away with your antics.

    What about the poor buggers like myself who have a motorcycle as main transport? I am *not* driving to a protest in your passenger's seat! :P

    Maybe it's time to scrap ACC cover for motor vehicle accidents and just have a small ACC levy like $100 on rego that covered other stuff. We could then have our own private health insurance cover motor vehicle accidents.

    We would then have cheaper rego. Health insurance wouldn't be too bad if it was just for motor vehicles (well and the usual other stuff) we would also be able to get NCB and the normal private insurance bonuses.


    And I don't see what's wrong with holding up car drivers on their way to work for a protest. That's what they will have to deal with if people have to sell their bikes and switch to cars for commuting!

    Just as well we don't have KB fee's.
    I'd be fine with my moped rating.

    Angry ACC Levy

    OK I haven't read every posting on this subject, but heres my two cents worth.
    Yes motorcyclists do come off worse when involved in a vehicle collision and these increaes are supposed to represent this.
    We can bitch and moan as much as we like but it's going to take a lot of heat to get a mind change from ACC
    So what about a no claims bonus from ACC no accidents and your premium goes down.
