The Northern Territory in Australia used to be a mecca for speed freaks and high performance vehicle owners as it was the only place that displayed one of the street signs below; open speed limits. Since 2007, a speed limit of 130km/h has been in place.

Attorney-General John Elferink, a senior government minister, recently said that open speed limits could be reintroduced in the Territory within one year.

The Country Liberals have always opposed the 130km/h speed limits, and since returning to power in August, the ‘open road’ may return. At a recent media gathering Elferink said that open speed limits certainly haven’t been ruled out. He said,

“The open speed limits have been controversial but in truth, we are a territory which enjoys certain liberties and freedoms but nothing, nothing at all about an open speed limit says that a person can drive dangerously. “What it means is we trust drivers’ judgement to drive in a safe manner suited to the road conditions.” Dynamic Display Ad(Long Version) David Saved $6,931 David from Doncaster SA recently saved $6,931 off the retail price of a new BMW 1 .

If the more relaxed law comes into place, you can count on PerformanceDrive making trips to Outback Australia for future performance vehicle tests. Who’s coming?
