Our car rego fees dropping from $230 and $175 to $171 and $85
respectively.
An extra $150 in the pocket a year.
Now, about those tax cuts, John & Bill...
It still costs $520 a year to register my motorcycle. :-( What a rip
off, $10 a week.
Wow, ouch!
Yep. I pay more a year in registration that I do in petrol.
Jeez, you're either very economically or not travelling much. What are
you riding?
I don't use it much at all, after much anguish I've decided I'll sell it.
It's 1500cc which is why it's expensive to register.
I think registration should somehow be based on km traveled in the previous registration term. The more you travel the higher your risk of crashing, so
the ACC portion (which is the lion's share) should be based on mileage.
It would make sense to do this like we do RUC for diesels.
Or perhaps you're only riding in summer? - in which case a 3 month, or
month by month sorta thing might be the go.
Yeah, I tend to put the registration on hold over winter.
