20% above NT posted speed limits is 156, Is this 160kph test part of passing ADR (Australian Design Rules)? If so then this could be the direction they have headed?

But I do agree that it does seem mind numbingly stupid to specify a test that requires a vehicle and its driver to break the law.

This is ridiculous.
