Figures released by the NSW Government earlier this week, showed that Port Macquarie had the highest number of drivers, who had not committed a traffic offence in the past five years.
Smaller town accountability is one reason we are more courteous behind the wheel than our city counterparts, but the statistics like these don’t just happen by accident.
There has been a lot of debate on these pages about road conditions, traffic issues, motoring behaviour and through our company’s Port Express newspaper columnists have long lobbied for better cooperation between motorists and cyclists.
So, to all those behind the wheel out there, keep up the good work, and the patience and let’s retain the crown in 2014.
