On holiday long weekends etc the road toll for fatal motor vehicle accidents the Northern Territory is invariably less than five (and that's during the Xmas holdiay period) and yet the other States with a maximum freeway speed of 110kph often has between 20 and 30 fatalities over that same period.

I appreciate that the population is greater in the other States, and that speed & alcohol contribute to the majority of fatal accidents, but with the NT having an open speed limit (and having less fatalities) maybe it should remain as is.
