When they put the open speed backthey had less fatalitys and it was much easier to drive at a speed he/she was comfortable with made people more alert and not so tired on such long roads I wish the new government didn't change it Back makes the drive a lot harder
What would be deemed as comfortable for a driver? Nearly impossible to set a definative answer that would sit comfortably with everyone.....too many variables
I do agree with the possibility of higher speed limits on the open roads, to make trips less boring....Every couple of years I drive from S.A to QLD and I do find some stretches rather tiresome......I even got picked up doing 110 in a 100 zone near Goondoondawindi (spelling) in an old VK commodore....The area was a nice flat road, gentle bends, very little traffic in the afternoon, with 100 Kays between towns, yet the limit was 100 KPH.....Yes, I would say, the road would be suited to a 130 KPH limit with that car, without too much issue, however the powers to be deem it to be a 100 KPH zone.
The way things sit, they have to draw a line in the sand somewhere and worse of luck, not everyone agrees where that line is drawn
