        I was told by a guy at work that they had community service anouncements on NT TV telling people to not sleep on the roads.

        I thought he was joking, but it was confirmed by other people at work.

        Who NEEDS to be told that sleeping on the road is not a very safe thing to do?
        (I would think it would also not be very comfortable either.)


        I am still amazed.

          Our Field Service and Product Support boys have been overtaken by convoys of Porsche and Ferrari's etc etc doing speed runs, and car checks, mainly north of Tennant Creek. Many major car companies use our roads to help with their design and developments. I don’t have a problem with it. Some have said that after talk of the Cannonball run up here again, and then Clare Martin ruling it out as “not” an option, the speed limits is a deterrent from that.

              The Canonball Run deaths had nothing whatsoever to do with Speed!

                sitting on 140 doesn't make me concentrate all that much harder on a godo highway than at 110 (re: not concentrating that hard at all), the difference is I can concentrate slightly hard for 2 hours straight at 150, where i can't concentrate at all for 3 hours at 100.

                        last I checked the NT had the lowest road toll of any state or territory in the country, even per capita. Anyone have current figures?

                        I guarantee the road toll will go up when they introduce a speed limit on the open NT road (due to fatigue and other long distance factors). But everyone is missing the point here. The main things they want introduced are the biggest money spinners in every state government's income generating arsenal (speed cameras, speed traps and red light fines).

                        Personally I don't have a problem with red light cameras but speed cameras are pure cash and zero to do with safety.
                        Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

                          Not that I have made it to NT but just the idea that I COULD have eventually...
                          Bloody money grubbing governments...

                          Why do we still have state governments anyway?

                          Ahh management... pissing in your shoes and then forming a committee to see why your socks are wet.

                            Maybe THAT'S what they need to change then. The funds from speeding should go towards road safety. That's what speed cameras are about aren't they?

                                that's what the other states said the revenue would be used for too - I think it paid for more cameras & more stupid ads in primetime as "road safety"
