ACC vehicle levies are coming down

[Bender]

Vehicle levies will be based on safety ratings from next year, meaning those who drive safer cars

But what that mean for our car's? Are we going have cheaper rego cost or they going to say that our cars unsafe and still be paying around $300 a year for rego

Considering our cars apparently do well in crash tests... and the autos have stability control... it should be in a half decent risk band.

Not sure what it would be like by these days standards, hopefully rego will be cheaper

Motorcycle levies will remain the same.

BOOO!!

the Government would introduce risk rating for cars, which would see light vehicles placed into bands based on their crash safety ratings

what defines a light vehicle?
