What would it take for Australia to get higher speed limits?
Think we have a mix of bag of bad attitude (more people think they are more important than the next, less giving way etc) and bad roads. Our roads were not designed to do the speeds that they do in the US and Europe, case in point, they don't have big gum trees 5 metres off the side of the road!

Don't think I've seen this happening for 20+ years now.
