Big cojones for sure.
They must have had a sweep vehicle up front as the amount of road kill on these roads is sobering - and I'm not talking about some small mammal or reptile either. Even the scavenging hawks and ravens are big enough to go through the windscreen at the posted speed limit (130km/hr / 85mph), heaven knows what damage a 5lb flying bird would do at over 200mph - there are hundreds of raptors feasting on the carcasses.
I don't think there is a town or fuel stop on that section of the road either - so you are a long way from nowhere...
