The Northern Territory has extended its open speed limit zone to include another 72km of the Stuart Highway, bringing the total to 276km.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
“Over the past 10 years, there has not been a single speed-related fatality on this new stretch of road.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
“While we are giving Territorians back this opportunity to set their own speed, it comes with the responsibility of driving to the road conditions, safely and within ones capabilities.”
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
After driving the highway himself and reading a detailed report of the trial, which will not be made public due to a cabinet-in-confidence ruling, the NT transport minister said he was “absolutely certain” open limits were the right move and believed drivers acted responsibly on the open sections during the trial.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
“Before the open speed limits, the average punter that drove on those roads drove between 130-140 km/h. What they find today, after the open speed limit trial is completed, the average punter still drives between 130-140km/h. To me that demonstrates quite clearly that the average person out there is driving the road responsibly.”

The other thing you have to think about is that this is the more open abandoned land of Australia, not the populous part with cities like Sydney and such. It's tons of land with very few inhabitants

Maybe if they did something about the spider situation I’d go give it a go.

forgot to mention , your car would then need to be right hand drive , and there is an absolute clusterfuck of regs to import then register your car.
