I received a PDF from Carmen Donnelly today justifying the price hikes.

"The changes in the motorcycle groupings mean that motorcycle owners are
now paying a Green Slip price which better reflects the actual cost of
injuries and compensation for claims against Green Slip policies held by
riders within each of the motorcycle groups. More than 50% of motorcycle
owners will pay less for their Green Slip from July 2010. Approximately
one third of motorcycle owners are likely to see an increase in their
Green Slip renewal price as a result of these changes, as well as
inflation and an increase in the current number of
claims."

bwahahaha... 'sif.

doubt it'll be any more helpful.

Hi

So basically it is fair that a 2.5T Nissan Patrol is cheaper for CTP
than a roughly 300Kg 750cc motorcycle, because a man hit by a Patrol
would evidently get hurt less than the person hit by the bike.

Really ?!

The only problem with pointing out specific examples like that and
leaving it to the reader to imagine them is that it IS possible to
imagine a person being more injured after being hit by a motorcycle than
by a Patrol if one closes their eyes and actually imagines it.

Rather, you should stick to non-specific examples, and more important
facts, or perceived facts, like, other road users are much less likely
to be injured as the result of a collision with a motorcycle, eg, car
occupants are fairly well protected from the motorcycle and most
pedestrian accidents involve motor vehicles other than motorcycles.
