Every May, landmarks across the country — from the Sydney Harbour Bridge to South Australia's Parliament House — are illuminated yellow to mark National Road Safety Week.

About 1,300 people are killed on Australian roads annually, and another 44,000 are seriously injured, forever changing the lives of individuals, families and communities.

But the origins of National Road Safety Week are personal for its creator Peter Frazer, who lost his daughter Sarah in a road crash in 2012 and has been working tirelessly for the last 13 years to improve road safety around Australia.
