Once again the poor old bike riders gets it in the leg.

This quote is a concern " motorcycle trainer Mary-Lou Nees said the levy was a way for the Transport Department to reduce the number of licence holders and get motorcyclists off the road." and is pretty close to the mark.
Must admit the boy racers in SA are killing em selves at a pretty fast clip and the govt has to address the problem, but why do they always resort to a cash hit?

| Quote: | THE state's 170,000 motorbike riders face paying a new safety levy that could almost double their annual licence fees.
Angry riders say the move is a ploy to cut the number of riders on our roads, and any funding raised must be spent exclusively on motorcycle safety initiatives.
The Advertiser has been told the "River Murray" style annual levy would add $300 to a 10-year driver's licence fee of $370.
A motorcycle safety levy was proposed in the South Australian Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020 to fund road safety initiatives on "high-use motorcycle routes".
Road Safety Minister Jennifer Rankine said the Transport Department was considering licensing changes for riders and setting up a motorcycle safety fund.
"A motorcycle licence levy is being considered as part of these proposed initiatives," Ms Rankine said. "If introduced, funds collected from the scheme would be used to improve the safety of motorcyclists." |
