Third party insurance soon to be compulsory

[digsaw]

fuck that,another bit of legalised daylight robbery,so how many of you who agree are poms eh,well nz has always tried the pom ideas an by the time we get it they have scraped it an we still never learn by the mistakes of other countrys. ACC is a real good example of how to rob joe public and bleed him dry,how many times will we pay this time eh. ACC should be on the driver then all drivers would only pay once,yep 3rd party insurance on the driver and ACC to,ffs you can only drive one at a time.

Some of the more senior members of this site should be able to remember when 3rd party insurance was part of your registration fee. If my memory serves me correctly it was the insurance companies that lobbied (successfully) the then guvermint to have it removed. Cant remember the date or the gubbermint but I am sure someone can enlighten us.....

Third party insurance IS still part of your registration fee . It's called ACC!
Why should I pay a rip off sum to an insurance compay just so that YOUR insurance company doesn't have to pay out if I sue you for damaging my vehicle. Compulsary insurance is the catch cry of the imcompetant.

And the thing that noone seems to able to understand (incomprehensibly, because it is incredibly simple) is that the reason that other countries make third party insurance compulsary is so that if soone is injured in a motor accident there is (in theory) provison for them to be compensate dfor their injuroies. The reason NZ doesnt NOT have such a requirement is because it is already covered by ACC.

Bloody whinging Poms again, who are incapable of accepting that anything should be different to what it is "back home". New Zealand is not "behind the rest of the world". It is far ahead of it. The insurance setup in the UK is barbaric, antiquated and stupid. If the Poms had any sense they would scrap it (together with their asinine motorway overtaking rules) and copy NZ.

EDIT: the old third party insurance that was part of vehicle rego NEVER covered vehicle damage it was only EVER cover against personal injury claims .

Ixion you senile old fartknocker, I belive that if they introduced compulsory third party it would be to cover loss of property due to some stupid scotch squid flipping a gixxer into your car/conservatory/marijuana crop and destroying the lot. There is no need for third party insurance to cover personal injury cos as you say that is the role of the Arsehole Constipation Conglomeristionalism.

I don't see compulsory 3rd party as a bad thing as long as it is regulated to prevent the thieving cunt insurance companies arse raping people. Standardised risk arsesment to ensure that it is affordable and fair, one policy per individual. NOT like the uk where it is abhorrently expensive.

It's a privatised organisation these days isn't it? And it only pays for accidental injury, doesn't cover damage to property or legal liability etc.

Are you sure ACC is privatised? It has a Minister in charge of ACC and it is paid for by our taxes......

Legal Liability is one issue with ACC............it is good and bad in my mind.

Yep good old ACC...lets get drunk knowing that if I have an accident I will be covered.....good one......in UK and other Countries people have to take responsibility and accept the consequences.

Hard to say really...........you could say that some people do not have car Insurance cause they don't care and know that if they damage someone elses car they will either get away with it or end up paying the debt back at $5 per week.......

Yeah, you say that now but if some fuckhead wipes you out and is uninsured and you are too then you're fucked.

End of.

Can you get a mortgage without insurance? Believe me, I hated compulsory insurance int he UK cos it made it prohibitively expensive for me to drive as a young male, but, i'd rather sleep safe knowing that my investments are covered for my own and other peopls fuck ups.

Cos they happen regularly. no matter how much you value your shit.
