    I assume that’s in miles per hour because otherwise it feels a bit limiting. I’d lobby for 128 to be included

      That’s too high for km/h though in my opinion. I really like that they lowered the maximum to 100 here a couple of years ago. It saves a lot of gas, is less bad for the environment and lowers the amount of accidents because the speed difference to trucks is not as big.

        As much as I like to sometimes drive fast I totally agree there should be a speed limit here, for all the reasons you stated.

          Hi neighbour.

          Over here it’s also not uncontested. In some places they raised it to 130 again because that was the only thing or previous government could make happen as the bunch of incompetent idiots that they are.

          I suppose that would be fine for long straight stretches, though you’d still be burning a lot more fuel. I’ve never been there but it’s a very different situation compared to Dutch roads.

            Yep, dead straight. I think it’s the trucks that want those limits, it’s a long way between Darwin, Alice, and Uluru
