Road Safety Rolls Into Tocal


Road Safety Rolls Into Tocal

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 30 April 2010

NRMA's Mobile Member Centre will deliver important road safety concepts and travel and lifestyle ideas to the thousands of visitors at the 2010 Tocal Field Days Agricultural Show.

NRMA's touring Mobile Member Centre will be at the show from 30 April.

NRMA Motoring and Services Director, Kyle Loades said the Tocal Field Days Agricultural show was a great opportunity for people living in and around Tocal to get some vital motoring tips.

"As well as having the NRMA Mobile Member Centre at the show, I am pleased to announce that an NRMA Safer Driving School accredited driving instructor will be at the show to answer any road safety and licensing questions from local high school students visiting with attending with their teachers on Friday," Mr Loades said.

The Mobile Member Centre will provide Tocal Field Days show goers with:

  • The opportunity to sign up to Free2go, NRMA's free roadside assistance for 16 to 20 year olds. At the same time youth can test their skills on the motorways and practise hand-eye coordination on newly installed Xbox consoles.
  • Interactive crash test videos of a large variety of makes and models and online road safety activities to highlight road, vehicle and driver safety.
  • Demonstrations of NRMA's trip Planner with over 15 million driving maps to save motorists time and petrol when travelling.
  • Latest safety fact sheets and information about alternative fuel.

An NRMA Patrolman will also be on site each day and on the hour from 11am-3pm will deliver an "around the car" education session covering the basics of car maintenance that will keep your car running safely and save you money.

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

The Mobile Member Centre has travelled across the state since March 2005, and has travelled an average distance of 40,000kmks per year and has attended 214 events.

NRMA's Mobile Member Centre will be on display at Tocal Field Days from Friday 30 April to 2 May.
