If you're heading off for the long weekend, Greater Shepparton City Council is encouraging road users to take advantage of the VICSES Driver Reviver site.
Your family will thank you when you arrive alive this weekend. So make sure you plan to take a rest if you are driving long distances this Labour Day weekend.
Find a nearby Driver Reviver Pit Stop
Drowsy driving is dangerous and potentially deadly. The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) advise if you're already behind the wheel when you start to feel drowsy, the best remedy is to pull over and have a 15 minute powernap.
So find a Driver Reviver Pit Stop, take a break, have a cuppa and take 40 winks if you need them. Our volunteers, alongside Lions Club members, will be there to say hello and get you back on the road safely.
Friday 10 March
Monday 13 March
Check the VICSES Driver Reviver locator for more possible locations, scroll over the icon to check if they are running a Driver Reviver stop.
Arrive safely this weekend!
