Bike rego course of action

[breakaway]

How many demerits for riding without rego?

[ukusa]

would love it enough of us would put there regos on hold to make an impact

but somehow i doubt it from the feed back on this forum
will definightly put on hold for at least 3 months and would do more if it was a wider initiative

Yep, I used to register for the whole year in one hit. I will now do mine in 3 month stints, and when the winter hits it will go on hold for at least 3 months. If there is a fine day that I simply can't resist going for a ride on, I will take the risk.
If enough people put their bikes on hold (even if only for a 3 month period), I reckon ACC will end up getting less levy than they got prior to the rip-off increase. They'll then sit in their flash offices with puzzled looks on their faces.

None, presuming you mean using an unlicensed motorvehicle.

This course of action will only have any effect on ACC is you contiinue to use the bike as always. Otherwise, statistically you'll be riding and hence crashing less.

I recently tried to get a warrant, I couldnt as the vehicle had no Rego so i needed the rego to get the warrant.
For a bike this isnt the case, you can get a warrant without a rego.................clear now ?

I have had this endorsed by my insurance company and VTNZ

No... no rego means what? The vehicle has no current registration license, or no registration (plate) number at all?

what the ??

What if you're already sitting on, say, 80 demerits, and get a ticket for rego. Does the 2 year period where your demerits reset get updated to the date of issue of latest ticket? Logic dictates that it shouldn't.

Right?

Lets go to the extreme. If there were no bikes used on the road because there were none licensed how many road bike accidents would there be, on the road?

To be effective civil disobedience in this instance doesn't mean slowing down the incidence of the activity - that's what they WANT. It requires continuing it regardless and refusing to accept the change.

I should think so. Unless, as imdying queried, you actually mean no registration i.e. unregistered as opposed to simply without a current vehicle license, not to be confused with a drivers license.

Correct. There are no demerits for operating an unlicensed motorvehicle anyway.

Also, contrary to popular NZ urban legend, demerit points you have do not reset their 2 years to expiry if you accumulate more for something else. They expire 2 years from the date of offence.

As in Rego on hold

So your saying that bikers should continue to ride all year round and pay the full 12 months rego/acc as always? That should show 'em

Wow, that's fully ghey... I've always assumed you could get a WOF on a bike that was on hold, as it has a valid registration number in the system.

Interesting, as I asked the same specific question when getting a wof for the car recently.
Was told that all vehicles have to get a wof to be able to register them.
