An end to one of the last great speed zones in the world.

On my honeymoon I drove the 15 in Utah.

We used to try and guess how far to the next bend.

Once we saw a cop with radar facing forward and aft!

We cruised at 55 all the way.

Don't they run a raod race on that road now?

Yeah, the 15 is a long road and many hammer it...However, you do have to watch out for ground and air radar....They can get you every now and then for speeding....

Rod, Utah is a pretty state with 2 amazing national parks/forests that are a must see "Arches Park" and "Zion Park" if I remember correctly... Snow skiing up in Utah is not all that shabby either....

Here are a couple of interesting web sites. www.no-speedlimit.com.au and www.KeepNTLimitFree.org To some, this may appear to be a lost cause, but I don't think so. Last year the NT Govt. tried to sell off the Territory Insurance Office but were forced to bow to public pressure.(The selling of the TIO would have left thousands of residents without flood insurance.)

I was just reading in the Courier Mail the Country Liberal Party is calling on the NT Chief Minister Paul Henderson to reverse the speed limit change to 130KPH, which they adopted at the start of this year, as they have recorded the worst road toll in a decade.

It stands to reason the road toll would increase.

Everyone is now driving slowly and nodding off with bordom.

I've always held a quick driver is an alert driver (in the right environment).

As a retired insurance executive I was always out of step with the industry on my approach to drivers with bad traffic (fines) records.

I used to insure them at very little loading and made a lot of money out of clients most insurers wouldnt talk to.
