NHVR advocates for improved road safety throughout grain harvest season

With the commencement of Australia's grain harvest season, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) says it is actively engaged in efforts to ensure the safety of farmers, heavy vehicle operators, and transport personnel.

Michelle Tayler, the Acting Chief Operations Officer of NHVR, underscored the significance of safety during this peak demand period.
