There's just no chance of being grown up the real risks of driving fast, these days.

As I said in my first post, prior to 2007, there were NO speed restrictions in the Australian Northern Territory on any road once outside the the town / city limits.
But, like Montana, the Federal Government bowed to safety lobby groups without considering the fatality statistics which were very low.
Nobody condones street racing, but the roads up there are pretty desolate - reminds me of the film The Worlds Fastest Indian where New Zealander Bert Munroe was "testing" his Bonneville speed record Indian along a deserted piece of blacktop on the US highway with the cops looking on......
No speed limits then!
