It appears that the NT government is finally to introduce speed limits:

Not everyone is happy with this, but a weekend paper reported that a 110kmp trial speed limit on one road reduced serious accidents and fatalities by 40%.
This is long overdue, and if it had been done sooner, we would have this bloke still amongst us:

He died in a head on on one of those NT speed unlimted roads, during a geological field trip to Australia.
It is very sad that we loose people to stupid road accidents.
The car he collided with was on the wrong side of the road, I was told.
Spped kills, and excessive speed kills excessively.
