Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) volunteers operate Driver Reviver sites around Victoria on holiday weekends and peak traffic days offering motorists a safe place to stop and refresh, in an effort to ensure they can arrive safely at their destination.
What motivates them to be involved? As the largest road rescue service in Australia, their volunteers respond on average to 1,300 road crash rescues every year. They would much rather serve you a free cup of coffee at their Driver Reviver site than cut you out of a car further up the road.
Driver Reviver, Australia’s iconic road safety initiative, is a national community program that has been operating on roads around Australia for more than 30 years, dedicated to reducing fatigue and promoting safe driving behaviours, by encouraging motorists to take regular breaks on their journey.
