Actually, we already have them. We have sunshine and warmth. Much more than a Muppet can handle.

And isn't this Australia the normal provenance of Landrover drivers?

Something like 95% of Australia's population would do most of their driving on multi lane roads. The test which started this thread was about driving sydney-melb.

As for Landrover drivers... Most these days are driving D3s, D4s and Evoques around cities...

So don't hold your breath everyone in NSW, there's at the least, 50 more years to go before you'll be able to drive to Brisbane on a dual carrageway

And the Hume Highway still has farm gates opening directly onto the highway.

I've got a bottle of Cane Cutters' Cordial to say you're wrong.

I must admit I was dissappointed when I first did a Brisbane to Sydney on the so-called Pacific Highway. I had visions of 6 lanes of gleaming tarmac, instead it was little better than a little local road.
