NHVR – We need space campaign
Heavy vehicle drivers are proud of their safe driving records, but at the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, we know some people might feel a little intimidated by sharing the road with them. The link promotes truck safety awareness through videos, posters and factsheets. It’s aimed at giving Australia’s truck drivers the space they need to keep drivers safe.
