Spot Joe Rider next week and WIN! – Cessnock

Cessnock City Council is inviting motorists to spot ‘Joe Rider’ from Monday 2 May to Friday 6 May, and report the sighting, as part of its local motorcycle safety campaign.

The Joe Rider campaign is all about encouraging drivers to ‘look out’ for motorcyclists. The intention is to reduce the incidence of, sorry mate I didn’t see you (SMIDSY) crashes, which many riders have experienced.

Getting in the habit of checking our mirrors and blind spots for riders, and being more cautious at intersections, will help to reduce SMIDSY crashes on our roads.

Residents who spot ‘Joe Rider’ (wearing a bright yellow vest) and report the sighting via an online form on Council’s website will go in the running to win daily $50 vouchers and a grand prize of $250 at the end of the week.

Visit www.cessnock.nsw.gov.au/JoeRider for more details on how to enter the Joe Rider motorcycle safety campaign competition.
