The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is reminding heavy vehicle drivers to follow work and rest requirements ahead of a campaign to reduce fatigue related crashes on national roads.
The campaign, which runs from 18-23 September across NSW, is part of the NHVR’s regulatory strategy to inform, educate and enforce – whether via on-road compliance or industry engagement.
In the past year there have been 48 fatalities from heavy vehicle crashes in NSW, with approximately 65 per cent of fatal crashes occurring outside the metropolitan area.
