NT's speed derestriction is no more.

NT's NEW maximum rural default speed limit is 110km/h.

Some key NT highways are to have signposted 130km/h speed limits.

Other changes are a demerit points system based on the national model, and increased fine levels for speed and other offences.

So... what's the use of the NT now? What's it for? ;)

Feeding crocodiles tourists?

Ah dont worry about it not being policed, if they can drag enough money out of the population they'll have extra highway patrols up there in no time.

im a darwin boy, and ima haf to say that shiet is teh ghey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

nah. death tolls for road accidents always been low in the NT. only reason they have done this is obviously for Revenue raising. because most people dont speed excessively.. 120 is average.

similar thing in amsterdam, alot less people there actually smoke pot!..

I was watching this on the 7:30 report last night, NT's drink driving numbers are EIGHT times the national average.

Then they started talking about single passenger vehicle roll overs and talked about people not wearing seat belts and being drunk.

BUT, to combat that.............................................they've reduced the speed limits.

No seat belt + rollover at ANY speed = death

Drunk + ANY speed can = death...

FFS. Speed limits wont stop drunk people speeding!

im not going to say anything racist here, but i wonder whose been doin all this....

a few of my dads mates were all up there for a riding tour, cruisin down whatever strip it was at about 160... when a ute comes flyin past em, with like 5-6 people in the back, then a trailor with about 10 more people in there. lol when they got to the other end, there were supposedly less people than when they started but luckily i dont think any of em could count to 16 :D

Please excuse the rant

Id be a little careful with even suggesting racism. Aboriginal people own skylines as well, and implied racism is just as bad as overt. Im not saying that there werent that many people in a ute and trailer, but suggesting people cant count becuase they are aboriginal is a cr@p.

Why do people with closed minds always open their mouth.

I know. Its brilliant.

If I ever become a surgeon and have to treat a politician for gunshot wounds, I'm going to prescribe him some Panadol and send him on his way.....since that's the same philosophy as their attempts to curb the road toll.

The NT Government are trying to fix what isn't broken.

Deaths are from not wearing seat belts, running red lights and drink driving. How many RBT's have I seen from Jan until now? Two. We have red light cameras that don't work, literally, and the seat belts are a huge issue out in the communities or on rural roads. Single vehicle accidents, usually a roll over on a dirt road from over correcting will take care of those who want to pile 10 people into a landrover.

The majority of our speed related deaths, have been in suburban areas on speed limited roads.

Go figure...

IMO I think the Government are trying to get rid of the Cannonball run or any posibility that it will return. Sure, there are deaths on our open roads, but there are deaths on your 100kph roads too. I agree in saying our road toll is high, but it has nothing to do with the highway.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
