Bikes are Back motorcycle event - September 1

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

We are again celebrating National Motorcycle Awareness month, to raise awareness around the fact we’ll have more motorcyclists on the road as we head into better weather.

You can join the fun on Father’s Day with family and friends by joining us for Bikes are Back at Northcroft Reserve, next to Taupō Mini Golf where there will be activities, giveaways, spot prizes and more!
The event helps promote such things as training opportunities for motorcycle riders such as Ride Forever, raise awareness of benefits of correct riding equipment like full face helmets and being aware of motorcyclists on the roads.

Come and see displays from ACC, Ride Forever and others, while The Rock radio station will be at the event providing the music.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
