| 680030 | 2008-06-18 23:52:00 | Why is the AA saying compulsory third party insurance will push premiums up? Are you for or against a law change? And why? I think this is yet another election-year 'look-at-us,-we're-doing-stuff' stunt. This option has been staring at them in the face for years - why the sudden interest? If third party was made compulsory, it should be part of the registration/WOF process - no evidence of insurance, no rego. And, caught with no rego - crush the vehicle, with or without the owner/driver in the driver's seat. |

| 680034 | 2008-06-19 00:36:00 | Let's see some evidence that the completely unlicensed vehicles are being removed before bringing in something else that won't be policed. There are some claims that up to 20% of vehicles aren't licensed. These drivers won't worry about insurance either. |

| 680035 | 2008-06-19 00:40:00 | . . . , caught with no rego - crush the vehicle, with or without the owner/driver in the driver's seat . Crush the car yes, but crushing the driver is unneccessarily harsh . That should be reserved for the second offence . And the reason that premiums will be pretty fierce is that certain groups may well be running into each other to get both vehicles fixed up under the insurance . |

Sure they will be fined for not having insurance, but you will still be without anyone to pick up the cost. One reason insurance costs will rise with compulsory 3rd party insurance, is because more people will move off nornmal insurance, onto third party. This is becuase car prices are now so low, and you will be covered by the other persons inurance if the accident is not your fault. Another products price rising, will also push up inflation and will also help to keep interest rates up. |

Ah....not sure I agree with that, there is no way I would drop full insurance on a vehicle worth 15K for 3rd party? Now if they do the law properly( Ins with WOF & Reg), NO ONE will not have 3rd party, so your 1st sentence will be irrelevant...... Any vehicle on the road without should be instancely removed to polioce yard or something.....car wreckers etc.....It wouldnt take that many car loses to get around that everyone would be scared to lose the car....surely? |
