Bubble bursting time.
We just had an election in the NT for our equivalent of a state government.
The side that was in is now out and the side that was out is now in.
The side that was out, but is now in, announced today that unrestricted speed limits on parts of the track between Darwin and the Alice will be removed.

It will depend what permit they give you, but I would say no.
Plus the open limit will be gone before next year, all thanks to our new Labor Gov.
No deaths related to speed, but they still say it needs to go.

I'm a bit divided on this. It's one thing hurtling along at ballistic speed yourself, however when its some incompetent ninny coming at you at ballistic speed, I wouldn't feel so easy.

2 cars head on at 100kph each or 110kph each as per Vic limits.
Do you think there will be any survivors?

Yes, there is a possibility of survivors. If your argument is that the probability of survival is still zero at 100 kmh therefore there is no point in restricting speed to 100, then some cursory research (or even just googling) will set you straight.
It's all just a probability game, there's no "correct" speed limit. |

Its not about the impact speed but the fact that at 110k you're a lot less likely to get out of shape and have that head on, than you are at 160+.
