AAMI Rest Towns

Every 2 hours make a rural town your rest stop

Heading out on a road trip?

Pull into Aussie towns along your route for a driving break every two hours. It’ll decrease the odds of you getting fatigued, and an alert driver is a safe driver.

Rest Towns is a road safety initiative from AAMI, encouraging drivers to stop and rest in local towns. Given the impact this year has had on Aussie businesses, stopping in some of these rural towns on your road trip can be a great way to support them while being safe on the road.

If you’re driving along a popular route, make sure to take regular breaks on long drives and make a rural town your rest stop.
