    i think if you pay acc and private then yes you get a choice , but you decide.
    if public have what you need , hey then you wait like the rest of us who pay acc .
    not jump the que just cause you pay both.
    you lost me?

    It is true that women have more accidents that men - however if you look at the stats it is men that have to horrendous accidents that cost all involved a fortune. Us women just scratch things a little bit.

    Stop being sexist, I was referring to not calling ACC a bunch of cunts, having ladies present and all.....

    its simple .
    if you pay private insurance, and at the time you choose to use it .
    ok .
    then if private cant provide , tuff you miss out .
    ok with me so far.
    because , why should you get to hop in ,in front of swomeone on a waiting list . just because they dont pay for a private healt cover .
    and remembering that the private insurers get to provide thru public system.
    get my point .

    I have read a surprising bit of info a while back, it seems a study was done somewhere in Aussie which showed that the accidents per km driven was lower for males than females, despite the males taking less risks. I don't know how accurate this was though, it is pretty difficult to get accurate info on how many kms every driver does, lots of families share a car. I believe the implication was that men are better at the hand/eye co-ordination thing, something about hunting and survival traits and more humans descending from women that are good nurturers and men that are good hunters and survivors.

    Despite a lack of good evidence that men in fact have fewer accidents per km driven (apart from the one study that I can't remember bugger all about) I have seen very little statistical evidence that men DON'T have fewer accidents per km driven. Of course from the point of view of an insurance company or ACC - if men are likely to drive more kms then they are likely to be a higher risk, regardless of whether men or women are the better drivers.

    If they (the rule makers) were serious about reducing motorcycle deaths and injuries they would get rid of ACC and allow motorcyclists to sue errant motorists.
