NSW CTP insurance. You know, that one where you never get any of it back even if you never make a claim.

 

I suppose if you buy a lotto ticket and you don't win, you feel you are entitled to a refund. You don't seem to understand how insurance works.

That's probably a similar rego cost for a four cylinder here in Qld.. All up somewhere in the 800 range; I pay 600 and something with the pension discount. I'd be  lot better off if it was a pay per mileage charge as I often only drive on the road once or twice a week, and not very far at that. A tank usually lasts a couple of weeks or three.

It doesn't seem that long ago that a V8 was $800, but I think it's up around the thousand now.

I only drive my 22 year old Holden Astra 4 cyl about 230 km per month. My 3 month rego renewal is due in a couple of weeks, for $116.34.

You blokes don't know how good you've got it. My 2.7L petrol 2WD traytop Hilux costs $914 for annual rego. My diesel 3.0L Hilux traytop is $954 annually. My Ford Ranger 3.0L diesel 4WD traytop is $1017  annually. But my 5 tonne Isuzu truck is only $1050 annually. Go figure.

It used to be that small vehicles got a sizeable saving in rego - not anymore, it seems the authorities just want around $1000 for every vehicle on the road.

It's not compulsory to buy Lotto tickets.
