I've only been in Australia for just over a year, but the insurance options seem a damn sight better than what has to be done in the UK.
I ride on just a greenslip. I'm fed up of years and years of very high insurance premiums that don't come down despite my lack of claims.
Seems to me that any damage I cause a person is covered by the greenslip, any damage a bike causes a car can probably be paid for out of the money I save in premiums over the years, (unless I'm hitting a car every year). Same for damage to my bike or it being stolen.
I've made one insurance claim in twenty years. It's a numbers game the insurance companies win at, and I'm glad Australia gives the motorist the option to play the game as well. My bike is either under me, or in the garage. Why should I be forced to pay four figures for such a low risk?
Am I missing something here? <i></i>
