I would only advocate 130 on our dual carriagways and the remote roads that are up to par, like the far western Sturt, the Stuart up the guts and certainly from Ceduna to Norseman across the Nullabor. Those roads you have out in remote Queensland where it's a single lane bit of tar with gravel on both sides so you can duck out of a road trains way don't cut it that's for sure. I'm not a big fan of QLD roads so I can sympathise with your concern.
    Yeah ,mate you are correct, been all over the territory, I'm not knocking you, just a bit concerned with these young blokes who seem to have a death wish. And our roads are, in the norm., death traps for those who think they are speedway drivers. Like a couple of fellows on this thread. You can not put an old head on young shoulders. Unfortunately, too many young people are dying. They wont get to old shoulders, like me Simple, really. Bob

    your opinion is back up by facts.

    fatigue is responsible for more deaths on our roads than excess speed.
    sa govt stats for road deaths in 2011.

    I read a good saying once, some might take it as a tosser thing, but it goes like this:

    "I'd rather die trying to live, than live trying not to die"

    I, personally consider myself a safe driver, because I am aware of my surroundings, drive to the conditions, the capability of the car, and my capability. I've learnt these capabilities in controlled environments, and I don't risk other people lives being stupid, I don't believe I risk mine in day to day activities any greater than the average person either.

    But I do believe there is a point where safety is ridiculous, to the point it can have a negative effect.

    Normal people have deadlines and commitments, I don't know your personal situation, but sometimes you can't leave earlier, and wasting time travelling, when the risks are only slightly greater is a risk a lot of people are willing to take. It's no different to sitting in heavy traffic around town, it annoys everyone because travel time is increased.

    Do you enjoy traffic jams Bob?
    Mate, I'm not sure what your point is here, Bob

    My point is that people have a life. That's as simole as I can put it, and some people don't enjoy leading their lives as tired sheep.
