Well that would be NONE - I ride a motorbike . Why purposefully exclude a particular method of transport from the question? Not only do I have to pay higher ACC levies (because the majority of car drivers are blind and cant drive and keep hitting us - I pay more for their lack of driving skills . ) but I use less fuel, take up less space and get everywhere twice as quickly as anyone in a car . Oh and last time I checked it both has a MOTOR and is a VEHICLE while being my MAIN and ONLY form of transport . So what is the point of the question? Especially since they can just have a quick chat with LTSA and get all the information they need anyway? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last census did not give people the option of choosing 'motorbike' for their method of transport to work and many bikers I know put down 'motorbike' anyway (invalidating their form) and then they did not sign the form . Well it says sign if true and correct . . . . . if the option does not exist you cant sign it . . . Now there are MANY more examples of people stuffing up their forms either because they are forced to (see above) or intentionally because they dislike doing them (think of the nutcase conspiracy theorists!) . So does anyone PLAN to invalidate their form or think they will be FORCED to invalidate their form?	Disco_Dan (16576)

1329768	2013-02-24 21:43:00	Except cruiser type bikes - they are generally too wide to lane split through traffic.	Disco_Dan (16576)

1329770	2013-02-24 22:33:00	Another thought: I had a small gripe about the work question, I work from home but my commute to university is by rail (obviously :p), why was that commute not asked about? :confused:	pcuser42 (130)
