LEARNING ABOUT TRUCK SAFETY

Released on May 11, 2001

Scouts Canada, traffic law enforcement officers and provincial truck

drivers are teaming up this weekend for the first annual Big Rig Rally.



"This is an excellent opportunity for potential drivers to learn about the

No Zone Campaign in a fun way," Highways and Transportation Minister Pat

Atkinson said. "This is also a chance for parents to learn about how to

safely share the road with large trucks through their children."



The Big Rig Rally takes place Saturday, May 12th at the Tartan Curling Club

in Regina at 10 a.m. Scouts from across southern Saskatchewan will race

wooden models of big trucks that they have assembled from a kit.



There are five competitions to be held with the hand-made semi-trailers,

including speed, distance and obstacle course events on race tracks. Local

truck drivers will judge the competitions.



"I encourage people to come out to participate in this event and learn more

about driving safely on our highways," Atkinson said.



Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation's Transport Compliance Branch is

one of the sponsors of the event. The No Zone trailer, Mobile Vehicle

Inspection Station and the RCMP Camaro will be on display at the event.
