Joe Rider Rides!!!!

 Just in from our friendly Road Safety Officer just over the border in Queanbeyan:

"Council* is again running the popular motorcycle safety campaign Joe Rider this week for 2021.  Evidence shows that being aware of motorcycle riders on the road is a key factor in ensuring their safety.

With COVID restrictions opening up and the weather warming up, we are seeing increased traffic and more local riders getting out on the roads to commute back to work or take a leisure ride especially on weekends.

Council has partnered with rider training centre Stay Upright, Australia Post and other local riders who will be wearing high-vis Joe Rider vests while riding the roads this week to increase awareness of motorcycle riders. 

If you notice a motorcyclist while you’re driving, whether they were wearing a ‘Joe Rider’ vest or not, report your sighting once you’ve reached your destination, by going to www.qprc.nsw.gov.au/joe-rider and go into the draw to win fuel vouchers.

There are five $50 fuel vouchers to be won and one $150 fuel voucher to win for the person that reports the most sightings. 

We can all help keep motorcyclists safe by checking twice for bikes. 

Again thank you for your past support of our motorcycle safety campaign 

Kind regards

Jo
