Fscking greenslips!

What's the fscking story with bloody greenslips in NSW?

My bike is up for rego - just did the old MAA on-line search for
greenslip prices - and the _cheapest_ price for my bike is more than
$100 higher than my fscking car.

The car weighs in about 8 times what the bike does, has a whole shitload
more metal in it to hurt other people, and gets used a whole hell of a
lot more - yet it's $100 cheaper to insure it for third party?

WTF?

How much fscking damage can a bike do to a third party? Sure, the rider
him/her self is more likely to bite the big one, but how many _other_
peoiple are you going to hurt - this is ostensibly what the green slip
is for.

What a rort. What a fscking rort!

While we're on the subject, anyone got any suggestions for pink slips -
Sydney, Hornsby kind of area? Where to get 'em, I mean.

DaZZa - just amazed at how big a rip off insurance companies are.

Yup. they aren't based on damge you do... this argument's been had with
MAA so often!

Slow progress is being made... It's on the MCC's list, but we don't
have enough suits really.

If you have comprehensive insurance, the greenslip can go down a lot.

Jesus, this looks similar to a post I made when my rego was due

It must be that a lot of pillion passengers get seriously hurt
because we all know that insurance companies look after us
and wouldn't rip us of

There's a third party you haven't thought of here (and here is the kicked
that the insurance companies use as the sting in the tail).

A pillion. And they will get plenty injured in a rider-at-fault accident.
Especially most of the ones I see, who tend to be young women/girls, with
nothing more for protection than a helmet, a miniskit, and a boob-tube.

Bring on solo rego like QLD then

 

register your bike interstate at a friends place,... **** NSW and ****
Green slips

 

And yet, even when taking 3rd Party Property insurance (against damage
you cause to someone else's property) a single seat registered 180 kg
bike still costs more to insure than a 800 kg car.

Your Rego is about $100 cheaper than a car, so it works out much the same,
rego interstate is not all its made out to be, you can be breaking a few
laws about state of residence, especially if the worst happens and they
(insurance company) proves you are not resident in the state of operation,
they now refuse entry to heavy vehciles in NSW , that have continued to
infringe the states laws.

Yup, but as mate has found out living in NSW for last 4 yrs with Vic
Personalized plates on a Patrol nobody says anything.

When I got wiped out, I was regoed in Vic, crash in NSW. Nothin said.

Love to see em try.. too many ways round it.

 

He said where you were resident, not where you crashed. If TAC found out that
your vehicle was illegally registered in Victoria they would deny your claim.

Heh - I got cleaned up in NSW by an ACT resident/licencee driving a
vehicle registered and insured in Qld... No insurance problems, at least
not on my (not at fault) end of the claim... I thnik IK had more
problems, but thats becasue he didn't have his own insurance to do the
chasing the at fault driver stuff for him...

Actually, I wasn't ignoring the possibility of a pillion being involved
- but the figures for motorcycle accidents with pillions couldn't be
anywhere near the figures for car accidents with passengers - and in a
car crash, the damage is very rarely limited to the vehicle involved
{how many bikes do you see writing off cars in a crash?}.

The balance is wrong. Which is typical.

There aren't that many pillion claims. And most are against a car not
the bike. (more pillions are injured in multivehicle crashes than
single vehicle ones. It's the being hit by big metal things what does
the damage)

A back of the envelope calculation Guy did a while back shows that if
every pillion who claimed ended up with a yearly payout in the top range
(which most of them don't get anywhere near) then the greenslip payment
should still be a lot less than it is.

It's basically a cash cow...

And always has been. 20 years ago, the MRASA was able to get a large
3rd party premium raise request from SGIO (as it was then) squashed by
calculations like that, and the 3rd party premiums committee even said
SGIO shouldn't be allowed to ask for a raise for some years.

Unfortunately there's no such beast as a 3rd party premium committee in
NSW. Nor is it free market.
