Well officer, you see, I just had to test my antenna repair...
I wish! Throughout Australia, despite some open flat country, the speed limit is either 100km/h or 110km/h on the better highways and divided roads. These limits are generally fairly strictly enforced. Only in the Northern Territory miles from anywhere are there roads without limits. Motoring testers often take cars there for high speed testing in hot conditions. Just don't hit a 'roo or even a wombat at 200+ or you'll have more than a bent antenna to worry about!
