Evey once in a while... Common sense.

Now we have all these great safety innovations and more in even the cheapest cars and the speed limit is still 110kph.

Except those parts that are now ( well a long while ) 90kph for some strange reason

Up here we have a passive revenue raiser called speed signs. On a long stretch of road guess the speed sign, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 110..........it will vary on different stretches of road so that the driver is confused!!!

Part of the attraction of the NT for me is that they still leave room for common sense. How fast do you reckon people travelled when there was open speed limits? Most about 120 give or take. It's been said by others above, drive to the conditions. Can you do 200km/h from town to town? No, it's too rough in places. Can you do that at dawn/dusk? Sure, for a limited time only. I could swim in the rivers (unknown amounts of crocs in just about all waterways). I can go driving with no recovery gear, thongs and stubbies. I can try and cross cahils crossing without waiting for the tide. All sorts of foolish stuff for the country, I can do. But I don't. Some stuff is pure dumb. Are people going to have sympathy when I come unstuck? Not up here.

That's what annoys me about restrictive laws (and 100km/h in places) is that people have become so dumb as to need the 'limit' decided for them.

Don't get me started on. The cholesterol travellers.

Todd,

Don't even get me started on that shite, or the wet weather speed camera.

There's one for you guys, a speed zone complete with camera that changes in the rain.
