NRMA supports road safety in Bega


NRMA supports road safety in Bega

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 13 February 2008

NRMA's touring Mobile Member Centre will bring road safety education and a range of travel and lifestyle ideas to Bega from Friday 15 February at the community’s annual Bega Show.

NRMA President, Alan Evans said the Bega Show would be a great opportunity for people living along the South Coast to visit NRMA’s Mobile Member Centre before Easter and get some vital motoring safety tips.

"Before you know it the Easter break will be upon us and families wanting to escape for a short driving holiday should take the time to prepare their trip in advance and get plenty of rest before starting out," Mr Evans said.

"Families can get advice on how to prepare and pack their cars for road trips and also learn how to make travelling with the kids and pets safe and enjoyable.

"Cramped cars and map reading problems along with noisy and restless children can cause the most patient parent to become irritable.

"A range of NRMA's travel and lifestyle publications will also be on sale at the show. Travellers will especially appreciate NRMA's new Caravan & RV magazine which has a wealth of motoring ideas and tips."

The Mobile Member Centre will provide Bega Show-goers with:

  • The opportunity to sign up for Free2go, NRMA’s FREE roadside assistance for 17 and 18 year olds. At the same time youth can test their skills on the motorways and practice hand-eye coordination on newly-installed Xbox consoles.
  • Demonstrations of NRMA’s Travel Planner with over 15 million driving maps to save motorists time and petrol when holidaying.
  • Interactive crash test videos of a large variety of makes and models and online road safety activities to highlight road, vehicle and driver safety.
  • Latest safety fact sheets and information about alternative fuel.

Mr Evans said it was NRMA, Volvo Trucks and Subaru’s longstanding partnership in safety that made it possible to provide practical ways of demonstrating road safety to the public.

NRMA's Mobile Member Centre will be on display at the Bega Show Friday 15, Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 February 2008 - 10:00am to 5:00pm. Location: Bega Showground, Upper Street, Bega.
