Aussies that value their driving licences do NOT fly down the road fast than the posted speed limits these days!
Occasionally you get a teenager flying past in a go-fast rice-burner roller skate, and quite a few times I've also seen them pulled up by the highway patrol a short while later.
The NT (Northern Territory) is a bit different though as the speed limit in the outback there is 160kmh (100mph) - maybe that's where you got the idea from!

I've always heard that the speed limit in Oklahoma (in the states) is unofficially: "Fast as you want, until you get caught"
~But they didn't always regulate speed in the outback, did they? Has anyone over there got old stories about road trains or anything else once upon a time taking advantage of that (if true)
I also see something about test and tune at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park...

I'm speaking from general observations around here (ACT and southern NSW). I passed 4 radar speed traps and one Random Breath Testing unit between Queanbeyan and Moruya.
If you get done 4 times in 2 years you can loose your licence.
Anyone disrespecting the law would have got done 4 times in ONE 2 hour drive!
When NO LICENCE = NO JOB it's only common sense to respect the law.

I find thinking of it as a 'road-safety tax' helps me get my head around it better.
