Motorcyclists and motorists travelling through the Snowy Monaro region this October are encouraged to take a break and join local police and Council representatives for a free coffee and a chat about road safety.
Council, in conjunction with NSW Police and Transport for NSW (TfNSW), is hosting two Coffee with a Cop events next month:
- Adaminaby: Sunday 6 October 2024, 10am–2pm, near the Big Trout
- Bombala: Thursday 17 October 2024, 10am–2pm, next to Bombala Visitors Centre
While these two upcoming events have a particular focus on motorcyclists, all road users are invited to drop in and discuss road safety in a relaxed, informal setting.
Council's road safety officer Lauren Viney said, 'Coffee with a Cop is a great initiative that allows us to connect with motorists, particularly motorcyclists, travelling through our beautiful region. It's a chance to share safety tips, hear about riders' experiences, and work together to keep our roads safe for everyone.'
Attendees can expect:
- One-on-one discussions with police officers and Council staff
- Road safety information and resources
- Free giveaways including cups, water bottles, and neck warmers
- A chance to win one of ten first aid kits by completing a short survey
Whether you're in a car, driving a truck, or cycling this October, we hope to see you at Coffee with a Cop and look forward to speaking with you about broader road safety issues and working together to make our roads safer for everyone.
'If you're hitting the road this October, we hope you'll take a moment to stop by,' added Ms. Viney. 'Your insights and experience are really valuable and help us improve road safety across the Snowy Monaro.'
