I know a little bit about the road stats in the NT.

Of the fatal accidents there ia a percentage that occur in un-restricted areas. That percentage is not large.

Of that "not large" percentage, if you take out drunk drivers, no seat belts and falling asleep at the wheel, that number is even smaller.

If you look at what remains, and then take out those travelling at 130kmph or over, there's next to nothing. I can see that this is not a statistically driven change, but a grab for cash. All of those highway bush police stations will have a constant work requirement to sit out there with their radar and ping people for the Government Kitty.

When I am driving interstate with the family, 130kmph is more than reasonable, no issue. If I ever finish building this thing, It'd be nice to stretch its legs occasionally.
