SA bill passes for cheaper car rego SOUTH Australian motorists will save up to $104 after changes to the government's Compulsory Third Party scheme. "All motorists will now be saving money when they register their motor vehicles from July 1," Health Minister Jack Snelling said on Thursday. He said the Motor Vehicle Accidents (Lifetime Support Scheme) Bill 2013 passed through the Legislative Council on Wednesday night. The reforms would see people's lifetime care covered if they were catastrophically injured in a motor vehicle accident with no-one at fault. "Changes to the lower end of the scheme will mean cheaper insurance premiums for all South Australian motorists," he said. While the typical metropolitan motorist will save $104 on a 12-month registration from July, the typical country motorist, who already has cheaper insurance premiums, will have a pro-rata based saving of $75. The introduction of the catastrophic care component from July 1, 2014, means the saving over the next two years for the typical motorist will be $148, he said.
