Michael John Pearlman is "sorely missed" by his Transport Canberra colleagues, who remember the veteran driver and trainer as an "amazing bloke".
On the afternoon of Sunday, June 21, 2026, a car driven by the 59-year-old McKellar resident collided head-on with another vehicle on the Kings Highway near Old Bolaro Road in Nelligen, approximately 15km north-west of Batemans Bay.
Mr Pearlman died at the scene.
