Joe Rider: The evidence shows that being aware of motorcycle riders helps ensure their safety on the road. As part of Motorcycle Awareness Month, local motorists are encouraged to look out for motorcycle riders from October 22-28. By reporting your sightings of “Joe Rider” – who will be out and about in his yellow vest – you will go into a draw to win fuel vouchers. The campaign also encourages riders to think about their own safety. Council is pleased to be collaborating again with Stay Upright Rider Training, a training facility providing rider training in our area. If you have spotted Joe Rider, register your sighting online at www.qprc.nsw.gov.au/joe-rider.
