Re: Good news for vehicle owners

This is interesting - a list of the cars and their bands:

There is a bigger difference between the age of the cars than ones of similar size/price.

Not sure if the size or price makes a difference, Mazda 2 is the same as a Maserati and a Hummer.

Maserati - idiot drives off the road at high speed.
Hummer - idiot drives straight through the other car without slowing down.
I thought the Mazda 2 was a fairly safe car.

Re: Good news for vehicle owners
Mmmm, not sure why diesel cars gets pinged, mine checks out at $171 but would be $80 cheaper were it the petrol version!
These are only coming down because govt increased the charges too much previously, so they can hardly shout about the reductions.
While mentioning diesel cars, the diesel road user levy is very much a regressive tax with no account of fuel efficiency, anything up to 3.5 tonnes pays the same rate.

No movement on motorcycle rego.
It went through the roof a few years ago with the increase in acc levy
and while everything else is falling, it stays the same

Re: Good news for vehicle owners
Every accident involving a motorcycle, regardless of who is at fault, is statistically classed as a motorcycle accident
So if the safest rider, doing nothing wrong, is hit by a drunk driver, it is still a motorcycle accident
This gives a false impression of the number of accidents. Motorcyclists tend to come off worse so need more assistance from acc (apparently) so we pay more levy
A lot more levy
