From Your Editor
Happy New Year, and welcome to our first edition for 2022. One thing that has been vital during the past 2 years of our covid ‘fog’ is the need to keep communications flowing to the clubs on a regular basis, via emails of latest news, the AOMC newsletter and regular news bulletins. To keep this line of communication more regular our newsletter is changing from a quarterly publication to a bi-monthly, meaning 6 issues per year.

Victoria Police have sought our movement’s opinion on the road rule 79A concerning the safe passing of emergency vehicles displaying their flashing emergency lights.
To our member clubs
Victoria Police have sought our movement’s opinion on the road rule 79A concerning the safe passing of emergency vehicles displaying their flashing emergency lights.
Vic Police are seeking information regarding safety outcomes experienced in Victoria, since the introduction of Road Rule 79A 40 Km /H reduced speed limit when passing stationary or slow moving police vehicles, emergency vehicles, enforcement vehicles and escort vehicles.
It is almost five years since this law was introduced and the police are keen to evaluate the impact on the safety of the Victorian community.
Please consult with your membership, send details of the consultation to us and we will forward the results to Vic Police on behalf of our movement. Consultation closes on Friday 22nd April so please consult your members as soon as possible.
Enclosed a copy of the road rule involved and the consultation form
Please let me know if you have any enquiries.
