VICSES volunteers offer free coffee, tea and snacks at roadside locations to encourage drivers to stop, rest and refresh, in an effort to ensure they can arrive safely at their destination.

The Rochester SES will be manning a site at Rochester train station on Thursday, April 2, and Friday, April 3, to give people a chance to have a break to help combat fatigue-related road trauma.

The train station site offers off-street parking, so people can pull off safely, take a break and even wander around the town and check out the new murals close by.

VICSES provides the largest road rescue network in Australia, with 104 accredited road crash rescue provider units across Victoria and 22 rescue support units.

Driver reviver sites operate at various sites and times throughout peak holiday periods and major long weekends.

Look for the road signs on approach and check out the website at driverreviver.com.au for locations.
