Free Cuppa For the Driver Campaign 1 March 2022 - 31 may 2022
Ariah 62 Café and Marrar Café and General Store join the Campaign
The participating businesses will be encouraging drivers to take regular breaks by offering a free tea or coffee to any driver who is more than 100kms away from home
Coolamon Shire Councils' Road Safety Officer, Karen Trethowan, said the second biggest killer on NSW roads is tired drivers.
“When you fall asleep behind the wheel you aren’t able to react by breaking or moving out of the way of hazards, which means the crash is more likely to be fatal,” she said.
‘Free Cuppas’ are available from a broad range of businesses with varied opening hours, making regular breaks and free cuppas very accessible.
“If it wasn’t for the participating businesses supplying the ‘free cuppa’, then this scheme wouldn’t be possible.
I would like to thank Ariah 62 Café and Marrar Café and General Store for enthusiastically taking part in this year’s campaign.
The ‘Free Cuppa’ website, freecuppa.com.au, allows drivers to search for the nearest participating business as well as find useful information on the scheme. There is also a Facebook page that will keep you up to date on the scheme and the participating businesses.
