You're not wrong to say that 'some places do not have speed limits', but it would be more correct to say that 'some places do not have mandatory speed limits, while all have advisory speed limits.

This is important, as the alleged absence of speed limits is a somewhat talismanic factor in myths about motoring.

But, as you say, this shouldn't detract from the driver's shocking lack of fitness to drive and his callous disregard for his and others' safety.
