Maybe not 30 natives but it does happen and quite often. Also full troopys in single vehicle rollovers.

I have not seen any statistics to say how many people were killed in the unrestricted speed limit area.

Most fatalities seem to happen in the city and are a mixture of DUI, speed and no seat belts. Single vehicle rollovers on dirt roads is also high, especially when tourists are not familiar with the high centre of gravity of their rental 4wd.

So once I install the DMS coilovers this weekend and get some new tyres and a wheel alignment during the week I will be using my right to travel at a safe speed to suit the conditions (any speed you want as long as it isn't reckless like flat out in a monsoonal downpour). By the time the new laws come in, I will have moved to Perth.
