PR: Australia Lights Up in Yellow for National Road Safety Week

 

National Launch on UN World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims

Our favourite icons, bridges and buildings across Australia will light up yellow on Sunday 15 November to mark the start of National Road Safety Week 2020 (15 – 22 November) and honour the memory of the 1,200 lives lost, and more than 39,000 seriously injured on Australia’s roads each year.

To be launched nationally by the NSW Minister for Transport and Roads the Hon. Andrew Constance MP and the NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads the Hon. Paul Toole MP, National Road Safety Week sees hundreds of initiatives across the country encouraging Australians to commit to get everyone on the roads home safely.

I've always hated Harley Davidson motorbikes. That's because -- as a non-Harley rider -- I'm supposed to.

Of course, I've snuck admiring glances at the beautiful gleaming chrome and enjoyed the primal chug of their hammering pistons as they've passed me on the highway.

First ride: all-electric Harley-Davidson LiveWire 2020

 

The new Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric bike is the first model from the great American brand that your neighbours may actually appreciate.

The brand new, much-anticipated Harley-Davidson LiveWire has about as much in common with the famous Milwaukee brand’s motorcycle heritage as Miller’s beer has with Barossa Shiraz.
