Consultation on rear wheel mods kicks off
The NHVR has opened consultation on a new modification code to fit non-standard rear wheel components on heavy vehicles.
NHVR Vehicle Safety and Performance Manager Peter Austin said the new code (D3) would allow certification of some common modifications to heavy vehicle rear tyres and rims by Approved Vehicle Examiners (AVEs) rather than requiring approval from the NHVR.
Rogue operator's behaviour unacceptable
The NHVR is aware of recent media reports regarding a Facebook video of what appears to be a truck driver taking drugs.
The behaviour in the video is shocking and dangerous for this driver and other road users.
We don’t condone this behaviour and we will work with all road authorities to remove this risk to road users.
We fully support police agencies and their efforts to target illicit drug use and high-risk operators.
