I strongly oppose the proposed increases to
the ACC levies for motorcyclists for the following reasons:
1.
They
will penalise motorcyclists by making
motorcycling financially impossible for many riders including many
people who
ride motorcycles because they cannot afford to run a car
2.
The
argument that motorcyclists as road users
should take greater responsibility for their share of the costs of ACC
falls
flat because cyclists make no contribution at all
3.
They
will increase congestion in our cities
resulting in increased costs in roading and transport planning
4.
They
will
increase the consumption of fossil fuels
by more people using more cars
that are, on average, less economical than bikes
5.
The
statistics and methodology supporting the
purported costs to ACC of motorcycling are in doubt and require greater
analysis
Regards,

Encourage
everyone you know to make a submission even if they don't ride. Use the
argument that they will be next.
We need as many
submissions out as possible
because this is NOT a done deal yet, and we can pressure the government
to not
only reverse this but start taking us seriously.
