You use to be able to do this in part of Australia a bit ago.
"So I can then go safely down the freeway in perfect conditions with almost zero traffic at 150MPH in a perfectly safe modern car?"
They changed the speed limit to only 130 KPH, death toll went up - fact!!!
Myself only did around 160 KPH but once on a known stretch of road about 200 KPH for a few hours.
Hint most deaths are in built up areas not freeway type roads - it is other idiots that contribute or obstacles in city/towns that kill you.
"Going off NT police’s road toll list, nobody has died on the open speed trial stretch of road since it was started in 2014.
In that same time 12 pedestrians and six motorcyclists have been killed.
There were 13 fatal car crashes on remote dirt roads and highways.
The fact is more people died on Territory roads after speed limits were introduced in 2007. 75 people died in 2008 — the highest number since 1987.
It’s time to stop attacking the open speed limit and start thinking about what can we be done to fix the real killers like hit-and-runs, drink-driving; and unsealed, under-maintained rural roads."
