Fair go Run: March 13
Will be held in Victoria, with riders to dermand the government to adopt the recommendations of the recent parliamentary inquiryThe Victorian Shadow Minister for Roads and the TAC, Luke Donnellan, and the member for Seymour, Cindy McLeish, will address motorcycle and scooter riders on the first ‘Fair Go Run’ on March 16, 2013.
The primary purpose of the run is road safety. Riders want car drivers to be aware of, and to respect, vulnerable road users. They also want the government to adopt the recommendations of the parliamentary inquiry before the 2014 Victorian election.
Riders from all over Victoria are expected to attend. Groups will travel from Melbourne and from Wodonga to Seymour via the Hume Highway.
In Wodonga, parliamentarian Bill Tilley MP will see the riders safely headed south. Mr Tilley is a member of the all-party road safety committee that drew up the inquiry recommendations.
Damien Codognotto OAM, Spokesman for the Independent Riders' Group said. “Road safety isn't party political. The RSC members did the work. It's not for public servants to second guess them. The inquiry recommendations should be implemented now.
“We ride. We pay. We vote. So we want a fair go.”
