Great collection of old Aussie cars ..

*"Don't be like the legendary Albert Day, who died defending his right-of-way."* I like that.

Nice to see those classic cars of late 60s and early 70's. :)

I remember these as a young lad... they were old then but still good as gold

These films are brilliant for there time.

I'm a trainee driving instructor and I wish more of these videos were put out to the audiences to learn some more on road safety skills. These films are quite old, but remarkably valid today, as much of, if not everything, you see here, is valid today. Well done for sharing these, I'll make sure to pass them on to my classes. This is also a good reminder for us, so called, "pros".

Despite being a world away, these Australian public information films are so like the British ones of the same era. It all feels very familiar, even down to how they are narrated. Many thanks for posting.

Excellent video that is very relevant to the UK, even today. I particularly enjoyed: "I feel a little sick in the windscreen wipers!"

Monaros, GTRs, Windowless Panel Vans, Capris, and Split Window Kombis, the seventies was a treasure trove of collectable automobiles.

Happy that I've found 1 of the 2 mystery series of driver education films that I used to watch in high school. Another film series that used to get shown was "How to Drive" that intricately instructed what to do when getting behind the wheel of a car. One of the films featured a red XT Falcon for the manual film and a different car being driven by a woman for the automatic film. They were dated 1978 in the titles from what I remember. Surely someone has them in an archive somewhere.

Wonderful film with a message which still needs to be imparted to many (most?) drivers, especially in developing countries like India. Thank you for uploading. Simple film but very effective.

Wonderful video, and one with a lot of relevance even today! Thanks for adding it!

Not the kingswood! I just baygonned the bumper bar!

second that Wonderful video, and one with a lot of relevance even today! Thanks for adding it!

This exact same video could be used today. The intensity of the mistakes and attitudes may have grown, but the reasons for accidents are identical. Thanks for the film.

*"You'd better leave me home today, I feel sick in the windscreen wipers."* I was on the floor laughing at that line! I remember saying "Are you sure?" (laughs)

thanks for the upload and it is very educational and enjoyable

Many people remember having a car with a built in cassette player, my family had cars with built in cassette players, and some cassettes in the console between the front seats.

3:49 Nice 72 ZF Fairlane :)

Hi thanks for your comments, happy to have brought back some memories. The How to Drive series is also part of the Film Australia Collection and we will be uploading it here eventually. Stayed tuned.

WOW!!! A 1965-66 Pontiac Bonneville...er...Parisienne!!!

The Pontiac was still a big boat even though it was probably only about 6 or 7 years old when this was filmed .The second appearance towards the end makes me think it probably belonged to the film crew .

This should be televised or mandatory watch for all to see how civilians act civil whilst in an accident or collisions.. I must add, that i miss these tanks.. These days, it's like driving a giant tofu..

@Conniptions886 Thanks again Conniptions. Always helpful information from you.

Defensive driving and forward planning have been the two important performance gaps not being assessed when attaining one's licence. This is a must- watch for newer drivers. Them let them subscribe to Dash Cam Owners of Australia for a preview of the avoidable crashes that await them

so right. never presume.

Some Quality Content 😍

Aaahh the Split Windscreen Combi Looove it

Learnt in a vw beatle , colum shift hd Holden was the scariest on a hill in thick traffic , I stil drive a heavy ford 96 model XR6 ute , I love her ,in traffic still is hectic especially now 🙃

I HAVE LEARN ALOT TODAY

A good film, in most of those accidents, the other driver could have taken measures to avoid these, say if looking for address, cars are following you, pull over let them go, carry on.

For me I am here to learn but I like how beautiful cars looked then.

Nice Monaro 00.5

@Seattlecarnut You are welcome - I hope it helps keep you safe on the road.

Sandman panel van 😍

nice video very informative, do you have left hand drive version, thanks and more power

I have noticed that most of these NFSA films mainly use non Aussie voice overs. We had a phobia about the accent in those days and tried to sound like cultured English people.

What's the jazzy intro music in these 'Skills of Defensive Driving' videos?

In Cali, we drive right; here, left-wise. There's always Driver's Ed, mate!

It's the roll in the HQ who's to blame giigk

Cool music

Some of this video must have been shot in Sydney, because even in 2019 the roads are still s*!t, and the standard of driving has gotten worse.

why are old videos more educational and easy to learn then todays? is the narrators voice or what???

good music

@2:40 3 people standing in the middle of the road oblivious to the traffic coming towards them ... and this was after the accident.

Looks like it's around Fairfield Sydney

5:39 - Willoughby Park, Anglican Church.

this is how my dad taught me to drive. pay attention to other idiots just as much as yourself

feel sorry for these old antiques cars now in 2019 .love all things about all days,,shoudn 't be distryyed these cars,can not belive it all old cars,old city,street,clothes ,old fsashion ,oh my god ,wish born that time not now

Right from beginning no signs! Before AAA invented the stop sign!!

Great stuff, who was Albert Day?

One thing that annoys me is when people talk on their mobile phones or devices while driving, which is more important?

Anyone know what song is used? It's a nice jazzy piece.

Really the biggest problem of defensive driving is that it can encourage people to drive badly by giving people second chances

Look no traffic lights

2:52 4:23

Four leftists who hate portrayal of a white Australia disliked this video.

it does not matter why someone slams on the breaks you must leave a 2 second gap to be able to stop, you must follow the road rules, don't like it? then gtfo out of the road

Defensive driving: Simply assuming the rest are just a bunch of pelotudos.....😄

Women!
