Just a little information you should all be aware of.
While we all have our bikes/cars registered with Vic Roads (Vic) and part of that cost is for insurance against any costs incured in an accident in relation to anyone being hurt there is a however a clincher.
It goes like this:
If you are in the wrong in an accident ( and lets face it we don"t mean for these things to happen) and someone (including yourself) is hurt and requires medical attention,AND YOU HAVE HAD A DRINK! Then be aware.
If you blow .01 you could be up for 20% of the costs. Even though your under the legal limit.
.02 =40%
.03=60%
.04=80%
.05= the whole damn lot
If the medical bills come to a minimum of $300,000
get the calculator out and and die in the arse on this one.
