Motorists are urged to drive revived if travelling on the roads this long weekend.

“The State Emergency Service will have Driver Reviver stations set up again this long weekend, with drivers urged to pull in and take a break,” said SES Acting Director, Matthew Brocklehurst.

“Drivers are reminded to take regular breaks to avoid driving tired to prevent crashes which could have devastating consequences.

“Our dedicated SES volunteers will be out supporting the community this long weekend, providing a reviver stop for all drivers, to encourage safe behaviours on our roads.”

Driver reviver sites will be staffed by SES volunteers on Monday, with free tea and coffee available for people needing to take a break, at:

  • 帕拉马塔溪 – 贝斯高速公路,拉特罗布和德洛兰之间
  • 圣彼得桥 - 中部公路,靠近奥特兰兹
  • Sideling Lookout – Tasman Highway between Launceston and Scottsdale
  • Franklin River – Lyell Highway near Mt Arrowsmith.
