"START A CONVERSATION TODAY"
Joint Initiative with ARB Australia
The thrill of going off the beaten track is not without risks and that’s why ARB is proud to stand alongside the Harrison Payne Initiative (HPI). ARB is committed to promoting safe adventure for all ages and to help fund education programs, support services, and driver safety campaigns.
In May 2021, 18-year-old Harrison Payne tragically lost his life in a 4WD beach driving accident. Harrison was an adventurous, kind-hearted young man who loved the outdoors. His passing was preventable – and it inspired something powerful.
In his honour, the Harrison Payne Initiative was founded by his parents, Kent and Kylie, to advocate for safer off road practices, educate young drivers around risk taking, and support families impacted by similar tragedies. Click the picture to watch our very powerful video!
'INSPIRING AUSSIES TO SAVE LIVES ON & OFF THE ROAD'
Harrison ‘Harry’ Payne had been 18 years & 22 days old when his life was tragically taken in a 4WD crash on Woorim Beach, Bribie Island on May 30th, 2021. Harry’s death could have been prevented, and we want to do everything in our power to prevent this happening to another young person or family.
