Does your loved one ride a motorcycle?

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.

There are a few unlucky people who are terminally ill and suffering terribly. They are not allowed to end their life and anybody helping them will be prosecuted. Then there are those, like this little 9-year-old, who are also terminally ill, but they want to live. She could be treated and her life could be saved, but the law does not allow it.

Please click the link and sign a petition to amend this law, so an exception can be made for compassionate use.
