I can still remember the speed signs with a black circle with the diagonal line indicating you can go as fast as you like as long as you do it safely.
It was always 'safe' until you crashed. These highways/roads of course were bumpy pot holed and with lots of curves, hills and two way. Then there were the very slow trucks that held you up at every hill. I figured out the only time you could speed was just like now between hold-ups. The only clear bit of road you see these days is in the car ads or for a couple of hours when the grand final is on.

The good news is the roads will clear when the oil runs out.
