Fatigue is one of the biggest killers on Victorian roads, so VICSES Toll Driver Reviver sites offer a place for travellers to take a break and enjoy a free cup of tea or coffee, cool drink, and biscuits.
The Driver Reviver campaign has been running for more than 27 years with one objective: reduce road collisions by alleviating driver fatigue.
Yearly, VICSES and Lions Club Volunteers contribute thousands of hours to Driver Reviver sites, offering drivers free refreshments and a safe place to rest.
