""Open speed limit zones will remain and be extended by a further 60 kilometres," a statement from the office of Chief Minister Adam Giles said.

The statement said Territorians had acted "responsibly" since the trial began, with a lower number of accidents in the trial sections and 130kph zones compared to the five-year average."

This would appear to confirm the opinion over on the other speed thread.     :beer

Very few of our fatalities are on major highways.  Many more in suburban areas, or 18 people crammed into a troopy on dirt tracks...

NT doctors are responding saying the trial time was too short.  It needed to be ten years.       :o

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.
