Not Ranked
Hey all. I haven't bothered yet (I was driving before limits where imposed)
There are a few "fears" up this way, dont get me wrong, we all want the open limits, but it has now been 7 years since they set the 130 limit, so there are plenty of young drivers out there who have not gone much faster than 130, these drivers worry me.
Also the radio and police have made it very clear that you still can get fined for driving too fast (for the conditions) and if they deem you are "racing". so if any groups of cars may get pulled up.
An open speed limit means driving at a speed that you feel safe at, not going as fast as you can.
All it will take is 1 fatality, (no matter weather speeding, drinking, no belts, unroadworthy car) and the Gov will say "we tried, but its too dangerous"
As for driving fast at night, I don't even do 100 at night out here.
Too many Roos, Cows, Camels, Emus, Eagles.
But in a few weeks when it cools down a bit, I dare say I will go up to Aileron to get a some milk.
