Pretty much, yes. We all have different views, and the AA does not share mine.
Which is why I have proposed we attend the district AGM's in February all over the country to let them know what we want as members.
Never had a survey about ACC. Plus the AA keep repeating the incorrect ACC figures. How can members form an opinion based on wrongly reported information.
To suggest this issue is solely about the ACC increase for motorcyclists would be wrong.
The issue is the move away from the equal community funding system of compensation to risk based assessment insurance, and motorcyclists are simply the first in the firing line.
Owen Woodhouse never intended for this to be the case. Read his report. He did extensive research, looked at systems all over the world, before coming up with our ACC system. It wasn't something that was put together in 5 minutes.
Try checking out the history of ACC that I put together if you want a brief taste:

All other motor users will be affected should this be successfully changed.
The last side window that someone smashed on my car cost about $300 to have fitted and replaced.
Replacing one window every decade would be cheaper for locked in keys. Plus lots of auto locksmiths have a mobile service you can call anyway.
But the AA offer more than just a "locked my keys in the car" service, which is why I joined quite some time ago, and why I want to put our views to the district councils so they know what this segment of their membership wants.
once a decade you reckon, you must be onto it, i did the van twice in two months, and then my celica a few months later, after breaking into it however i realised that id popped the boot b4 locking the keys anyway so could have climbed straight in
AA has a big rep for helping you out etc when things go wrong on the road, which is all well and good, but you can get other people to do the same job and only pay a one off fee (towie/locksmith...), or nothing if you just get a mate to help. What else is it theyre sposed to do, oh yeh, stand up for all motorists rights, fuck you AA![]()
