Debate over processing of vehicle claims

Some key milestones in New Zealand’s motoring history:

The average time taken to repair a vehicle in New Zealand could be reduced by a third if insurers reduce unnecessary red tape according to a new industry survey.

New research released by the Collision Repair Association, an industry body covering hundreds of panelbeaters from around NZ, shows the average time taken to repair a vehicle is around six days – of which more than two days is lost in administration between the insurer and vehicle repairer.

But the Insurance Council has disputed this claim, saying a panelbeater skill shortage is causing delays in repairing insurance customers’ cars, not insurer red tape.

CRA general manager Neil Pritchard says the level of red tape required for each repair is unnecessarily high and means the customer is without their vehicle for longer than they should be.

“Under the current model, the typical repair process requires the insurer to accept a claim for repairs, assess the vehicle, then authorise the panel beater to quote on the repairs. Once the estimate is accepted the panelbeater can begin repairs.

“The issue is there is no industry standard covering the documentation required for an insurance claim and some insurers are regularly making requests for additional information after the estimate has been submitted by the repairer.

“The time taken up with completing this extra paperwork can be as long as the repair itself; for the customer this means their car is off the road for up to twice as long as it needs to be,” he says.

But Insurance Council chief executive

Tim Grafton says the CRA’s claims are “an empty beat-up to disguise the failure to address the industry’s skill shortages.

“Neil Pritchard has a short memory because earlier this year his organisation approached the Insurance Council to partner in joint communications regarding their skills shortage causing delays in car repairs. He is creating tension between the smash repair industry and insurers that is unnecessary.”

Tim says the CRA needs to wake up to the real issues with delays in repairs. “They need more skilled staff who know how to work with high tech cars and they need more staff in repair shops in the major cities where we have seen an increase in both cars on the road and crashes.

“There will always be cost negotiations

1896 Cecil Woods of Timaru creates the first New Zealand-built motor vehicle.

1898 The first imported motor cars arrive in New Zealand. Member of Parliament, William MacLean, imports two Benz vehicles from France, dubbed ‘Lightening and ‘Petrolette’.

1900 New Zealand’s first electric tram arrives.

1905 Two men complete the first car journey from Wellington to Auckland – taking seven days!

1908 A farmers’ conference calls for vehicles of speeding motorists to be ‘locked out’ of 3rd and 4th gears to force them to slow down.

1918 The Christchurch City Council imported their first Walker Electric Truck.

1934 First national traffic census is undertaken.

1937 A Traffic Code is distributed to every home, motor association, all safety councils and others.

1940 Drivers 70 years-old and over must be retested to ensure they are still fit to drive.

1950 The first section of motorway opens in December. It runs for three miles between Takapu Rd and Johnsonville and is part of the main approach to Wellington City.

1950 The first compulsory STOP signs appear.

1955 A new law requires motorists to slow down to 10mph (now 20km/h) when passing a school bus that is picking up or setting down children.

1956 Motorcyclists travelling at over 30mph (50km/h) now have to wear a ‘crash (later safety) helmet’. Moped riders are excluded.

1957 The first give way signs are erected at crash-prone intersections.

1959 Auckland Harbour Bridge opens on 30 May.

between panelbeaters wanting more profit and insurers wanting to keep costs down so that insurance remains affordable for everyone. All insurers are asking for is the evidence of the damage to support the recovery of the costs which is no more than any other business requires when paying for services,” he says.

Neil says the current industry model for vehicle insurance which is used in NZ is not helping to speed up repairs.

“In the US, insurers are required to provide a suitable replacement vehicle while their customer’s vehicle is off the road – the daily cost of running the vehicle provides an incentive for the insurer to expedite the process.

“In NZ it is usually the panelbeater who FINANCE OFFER provides a courtesy car,” he says.

Peugeot 3008 SUV GT Diesel

Let’s take this for a spin!

It’s the attention to small details that tells the story of innovative car design. And for the Peugeot 3008 it comes in the unusual shape and size of the steering wheel.

“I love this steering wheel! Why can’t they all be like this? I said, taking control of the 2017 European Car of the Year – the Peugeot 3008. “This is brilliant!”

Laughing out loud as I drove away from the Tauranga Peugeot dealers, the brilliant thinking behind the new shaped wheel made for a new tactile driver experience because it removed driver over-reliance on the old, traditional bulky steering wheel.

This was, in a sense, a new driving experience. It felt ‘freer’ than usual. While it may be a small detail, it sums up the design themes behind the Peugeot 3008

that took it to its 2017 European Car of the Year status.

The innovative and daring design of the 3008 steering wheel confirms something that all driving enthusiasts know: driving should be more than merely getting from A to B.

Cockpit class

The unusual wheel shape opens up the cockpit and places the driver in a viewing position where the vista in view over the bonnet is more open and therefore safer than before, as the steering wheel simply gets out of the way.

Drivers will feel ‘air’ in the cabin. It provides a happy balance between all the controls and the immediacy of the environment. It is a very clever piece of Euro design that I suspect will become the norm in future with other marques.

At its best, driving is a sensory experience that combines the skills of the driver with the design ideals of the manufacturer. And this is what Peugeot has got so right with its new SUV. And it is this sense of ‘this feels o BlueHDi rb u right’ in the cockpit that makes T r e d n yli Engine: 4-c l Engine the 3008 such an exceptional Diese drive. Among the many features e Lane bags, Activ 6 is a front eight-inch screen Safety: air ure Warning Depart display that, at last, is easy to on: 6-speed 0) use and logical in its layout and si is sm n ra T 375 @ 0 8 (1 interface. w k Power: 133 2000 Of particular interest is @ 0 Torque: 40 7 kmph having the on-screen radio 0 :2 l) Top Speed c tuning and selection interface, in T S (G 90 but with a normal tactile Price: $54,9 oad costs plus on-r volume pot below it.

and use.

The punch tab buttons below the screen make sense immediately and the Tom-Tom navigation is ready to go with a click of a button.

Much of the setting allows for customisation, including separate air conditioning and other controls. I prefer the tactile button push here than fiddling with sometimes under-responsive in-car screens.

Peugeot has got this just right.

The small details in the cockpit add up to some innovative thinking that is extended elsewhere in the design and extends to a hands-free tailgate opening for drivers with keys stuck in the pocket while both hands are full of groceries or golf clubs.

One area that took a little getting used to was the gear selector interface. Once the click back and forward motion was sorted we were away and it was simply a matter of getting used to the functionality of another space-saving design feature.

Full customisation of the on-screen display is also standard which allows drivers to have all the car functions and detail exactly as they prefer.

A nifty trick the Peugeot 3008 offers is the lane departure warning/correction. I put it to the test by slightly drifting over the white line and heading towards the barrier on Takitimu Drive. The Peugeot brought me back inside the white line as it took control to ensure the SUV was always inside the white line safety zone. It is a very welcome addition which can be turned off for those who don’t want to use this safety feature.

Under the hood

Under the hood the engine is a two-litre, four-cylinder diesel linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. Here too, Peugeot has got the mechanics right, just as it has

with the ergonomics in the cabin. There is smooth power delivery with enough muscle to move when needed without being overly aggressive.

There is a very smooth, almost transparent shift between gears which provides just the right sense of driver awareness that the shift has occurred without the extra clunk of harder gear changes.

In short, it starts and stops with good control and while it may not have the fastest time to 100 kmph, it simply doesn’t need it, Peugeot’s design hallmark is not blistering speed around the Nurburgring, rather good speed and control on city streets is the performance envelope the Peugeot 3008 is designed for.

It shows both in the numbers and in the attitude taken by the car as it navigates city streets. The 3008 is not a light car, but this also has the benefit of making drivers feel safe (with minimal engine and road noise) and allows them to feel the car is hugging the road while they are more engaged with their surroundings.

Innovation and class

As a European brand Peugeot will appeal to many who value the prestige that comes with all things from the Northern Hemisphere.

But the appeal for the Peugeot 3008 should extend further than to purist drivers and enthusiasts.

There are enough features (not found in other drives) and critically designed elements that enhance the driving experience that should place the Peugeot 3008 on the pre-purchase drive test for anyone in the market for an SUV. Frankly, the Peugeot 3008 had me from the steering wheel!

Legends of Bathhurst coming Getting the best fuel economy As the Kiwi love affair with brand new cars continues to grow, how can we make sure we get the best fuel economy from our cars?

‘Legends of Bathhurst’ will be the theme of the 2018 New Zealand Festival of Motorsport to be held at Hampton Downs International Motorsport Park on January 13-14.

Recent event themes of the festival have included tributes to Kiwi racing legends Chris Amon, Denny Hulme, Howden Ganley and Ken Smith, as well as celebrations of BMW, Ferrari and Porsche.

For 2018 the festival organisers have engaged prominent Australian motorsport media identity Aaron Noonan and his Melbourne-based AN1 Media organisation to help bring together a range of drivers and cars.

Negotiations are underway to bring a range of legendary drivers and some of the most iconic cars in the history of Bathurst to New Zealand to take part in special ‘Legends Hot Laps’ sessions alongside racing involving a variety of categories.

Organisers are also calling for expressions

of interest from owners with cars that have Bathurst racing history from New Zealand, Australia or around the world, to take part in the ‘Legends of Bathurst’ event.

“We have some really exciting plans up our sleeves in terms of the types of cars and stars that we’re keen to bring to Hampton Downs next year,” says Aaron.

“Kiwis are just as passionate as Aussies about Mount Panorama so to be able to bring some of its amazing racing history across the Tasman is something that will make this event a must-attend.

“We have plenty of leads to follow up on both in Australia and New Zealand with relevant car owners, but we’re also putting the call out to owners to get in touch with us too; whether they be Group A or C touring cars, Super Tourers, old V8 Supercars, or even back into the Series Production days of Bathurst racing. If it has a Bathurst connection we want to hear about it!

“Getting a blend of makes, models and eras of cars together will help make this event a really special celebration of everything that is Bathurst.”

The latest surveys reveal half of Kiwis would hesitate to buy a car that wasn’t fuel-efficient, yet a series of reports from across the world have recently highlighted the gap between the high-tech laboratory tested fuel ratings given to vehicles and the reality of what the average driver actually gets out in the real world.

How to get the most out of your fuel tank: “Recent studies, such as the UK’s Mind the Gap have given us insights into the real fuel economy of the cars we buy,” says Canstar Blue spokesperson Emma Quantrill.

“The figures quoted by manufacturers are the results of some very specific testing conditions that do not usually reflect typical car usage. As a result, consumers should use them as a guide only and look at ways their own driving habits can make a positive difference.”

How to improve your fuel efficiency

According to a number of recent Canstar Blue surveys, fuel efficiency and fuel emissions are front of mind for many Kiwis.

Fortunately by improving your fuel efficiency, you will also reduce you emissions, so getting the most from your tank and doing your bit for the environment may not be as hard as you think.

Remove your roof rack when you’re not using it.

vehicle needs to create extra energy to travel forward.

Empty your boot. That ‘junk in the trunk’ is weighing you down and your engine needs more fuel to make your vehicle move.

You don’t need your air-con on all the time.

It may be necessary in the summer but in the cooler months your car heater should work just fine. Heaters actually recycle the heat generated by your car engine, whereas air-con needs additional power so you could be unnecessarily sending your fuel consumption higher than the thermometer.

Tyre pressure. We all know that making sure your tyres are pumped up helps with fuel economy, you’ve just got to remember to do it.

If you’ve got cruise control on your vehicle use it. It’s a lot more consistent than your right foot on the accelerator.

Be a ‘smart’ driver. If you know you are coming up to lights, a junction or a roundabout, anticipate it by naturally slowing down in your approach. If you use a drive hard, brake hard approach, all you are doing is reducing your fuel economy, and the life of your brakes.

Don’t rev your engine. Modern cars don’t need it and all you are doing is guzzling gas.

Get your car serviced regularly. There are a number of sensors and filters on cars that need to be cleaned or replaced in order to maximise fuel economy and minimise emissions. If you look after them, you’ll get better results. Finally, if you are buying a new car, think about what you want and need from it. A three litre, four wheel drive is not going to deliver great fuel economy if most of your driving is done in rush hour or over short distances.
