2008 VACC scooter rally in Melbourne
Make your presence felt on October 26For the third year running, the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) will be holding its Safe Routes Scooter Rally in Melbourne on Sunday, October 26.
At the rally, the VACC, Victoria's peak automotive industry body, will be proposing a number of road-sharing initiatives for scooter and motorcycle riders, including the introduction of safe routes, safety boxes, filtering and bicycle lane sharing.
"There is no sign of the boom in scooter and motorcycle sales abating," says the VACC Executive Director, David Purchase. "Road sharing must be made safer for scooter and motorcycle riders. Neither regulation, nor training, nor traffic management and infrastructure has kept pace with the boom in sales of two wheeled transport. Clearly, cars and poor road-sharing practices pose the greatest risk to scooter riders."
Participants should arrive at Luna Park at 10:00am for a 10:30am start. The rally will finish at Waterfront City in Docklands.
