There are plenty of reasons to unwind this weekend in the north of the State ranging from extreme sport and show rides to please adrenaline seekers to arts and craft for those wanting a quieter weekend. 

Road Safety Task Force Chairman, Paul Hogan is urging those who take advantage of the events to make the most of the four Driver Reviver sites in operation on Monday. 

Mr Hogan said, ?There are plenty of reasons for people to be out on our roads this weekend with a number of events scheduled, including the Tasmanian Craft Fair in Deloraine and the Hydro Tasmania Wildwater World Cup at Brady?s Lake.

?If you are driving near a Driver Reviver site, stop in, have a break and unwind with a hot drink and biscuit provided by the State Emergency Service volunteers.

?Due to the number of events scheduled, traffic is likely to be increased, which may require greater driver attention and require a need to stop before the onset of fatigue to refresh and arrive home safely.?

Events on this weekend include the last days of Burnie Shines, featuring a farmer?s market, a burlesque performance and cocktail party on Saturday and the Choral Spectacular on Sunday hosted by the Burnie Youth Choir.

If in Deloraine for the Tasmanian Craft Fair on Sunday, drop by the Deloraine Club, which is hosting an afternoon of inventive jazz performed by a trio of musicians who have never played together.

Pearns Steam World is holding a Steam Fest in Westbury, featuring working engines that are nearly 100 years old as well as the Grand Parade of all the working tractors and engines on Saturday and the Show and Shine tractor rally on Sunday.

?It would be great if people planned ahead to include a Driver Reviver stop over this weekend and even better if they planned a stop to revive for every hour spent driving on any journey,? said Mr Hogan.

The four operating sites will be open from 10am ? 5pm on Monday 2 November at the following locations:

• Paramatta Creek on the Bass Highway, between Latrobe and Deloraine
• Fossey River on the Murchison Highway, near Mt Pearce
• Franklin River Nature Trail on the Lyell Highway, near Mt Arrowsmith
• Sidling Lookout on the Tasman Highway, between Launceston and Scottsdale 

For those travelling in the south of the State, the St Peters Pass Driver Reviver site on the Midlands Highway, near Oatlands will not be in operation.
