Ever had that sinking feeling when a police car appears behind you? Your brain starts ticking, madly calculating how many drinks you’ve had. And with around 3 million drivers breath tested every year in New South Wales there’s good reason to be concerned. Every police car is a Mobile RBT so if you’re worried about getting breath tested... you should be. |

During the last 5 years there were 73 alcohol related crashes within the Great Lakes area that resulted in an injury or death. The RTA, Great Lakes Council and Great Lakes Liquor Accord encourage you to plan your trip and consider alternate transport options.
Don’t be a statistic.
If you are going to drink:
- Get a ride with a non-drinker;
- Drink in a pub or club that has a courtesy bus;
- Use public transport; or
- Catch a taxi.
To make it easier, a pocket sized transport card is available that contains all the telephone numbers you need for your local club courtesy bus, bus or taxi to ensure you get home safely.
Transport timetable cards are available to collect for free at the following locations:
-
Licensed hotels and clubs;
-
Tourist information centres;
- Local bottle shops;
-
Some service stations;
-
Some real estate agencies; and
-
Council’s Customer Service Centre in Breese Parade, Forster as well as Council's Stroud and Tea Gardens District Offices and the Rural Transaction Centre in Bulahdelah.
