EQUAL IS FAIR
SET MOTORCYCLE ACC LEVIES AT THE CAR RATE
Tell them the facts
Smaller vehicles will always fare worse in a collision
That doesnt mean you charge small vehicles more
Motorcyclists are not-at-fault in 66% of collisions
So why charge bikers more ?
The average cost to ACC of a motorcycle accident is lower than a car, cycle or pedestrian accident
Why charge motorcyclists more ?

A.C.C. appear to have deliberately inflated and mis-represented accident figures to achieve support.
