Why participate

Your participation not only gives you a shot at fantastic prizes, but it also plays an important role in saving lives by increasing road awareness.

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. By paying closer attention to motorcyclists on the road, you're helping to reduce crashes or near misses.

• Motorcyclists are overrepresented in road trauma. From 2018 to 2022, motorcycles comprised only 4.4% of registered vehicles in NSW but accounted for 18.6% of road fatalities.
• Male riders accounted for 96.7% of fatalities and 92.8% of serious injuries. The age group most affected (45.8% of fatalities and 50.8% of serious injuries) were riders between 30 and 59 years old, with an increase from 2022 to 2023 (from 21 to 24 deaths).
• Young and novice riders (aged 17 to 29) accounted for 31.8% of fatalities and 36.8% of injuries, highlighting their road vulnerability.

Good luck spotting Joe Rider and thank you for helping make the Tweed a safer place for everyone!
