Great collection of old Aussie cars ..

[@jasoncarpp7742]

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

[@eastbtm6531]

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

[@Marillionado]

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".

[@JeZMcFeZ]

These films are brilliant for there time.

[@MarkHenstridge]

and yet still very relevant!

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

very extremely relevant with 2020 vision.

[@chudiksc]

Why do you say that

[@blackcorp0001]

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

[@mathewgreen4099]

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.

[@helent5034]

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

[@fractalign]

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

[@pugnut403]

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

[@MeFrom07]

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.

[@scottdonkin5364]

If you haven’t found it already, its under this channel and its a playlist

[@Laurenlee996]

1969 and 1970.

[@jamesrichardson645]

There are also much more here www.nfsa.gov.au/collection/curated/learn-drive

[@NFSAFilms]

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.

[@thomaselliott573]

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.

[@adishankars]

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.

[@SecurityHere]

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

[@hjwjenny]

thanks for the upload and it is very educational and enjoyable

[@brendanwilliams7291]

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.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

*"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)

[@NFSAFilms]

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

[@makersmark1974]

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..

[@owenanderson9395]

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

[@MadMaXxFx]

Some Quality Content 😍

[@sharongoodsell9341]

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 🙃

[@davechristian7543]

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

[@Hossak]

Not the kingswood! I just baygonned the bumper bar!

[@NathanChisholm041]

Money on the fridge!

[@bethetruth6428]

Aaahh the Split Windscreen Combi Looove it

[@Pookatube]

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

[@Mercmad]

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 .

[@Millionvibeschallenge]

I HAVE LEARN ALOT TODAY

[@strictlynunya790]

Thank you Tecsquad comedy Creative, very cool!

[@charng]

so right. never presume.

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

earth ain't no spinning ball flying space. nullabor plane is flat.

[@bloodgasses]

3:49 Nice 72 ZF Fairlane :)

[@NFSAFilms]

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

[@boxoffisa]

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

[@barryphillips7327]

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.

[@paulnguyen8910]

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

[@toranacar]

Nice Monaro 00.5

[@user-wd5mx9ec3p]

Sandman panel van 😍

[@normansilvallana5961]

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

[@jozakroat]

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

[@johnpro2847]

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.

[@johnpro2847]

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

[@NFSAFilms]

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

[@brendanbarker2095]

Cool music

[@masteryoda498]

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.

[@icefuel117]

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

[@boop-oop-a-doop9293]

icefuel117 Probably because this one tries to make you think dosen't patronize you

[@101Volts]

I wonder too. There are many old driving education films on KZbin along with "Shockumentaries" too which show what could happen if you REALLY do a job (e.g. wreck in a stock 50s or 60s car.) "Signal 30" is one of them and it's as blunt as an atom BOMB.

[@chudiksc]

Probably when moral still have value . When everything is not all about money

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

good music

[@TweedSuit]

5:39 - Willoughby Park, Anglican Church.

[@heydocklands]

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

[@smileyone4654]

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

[@garymarquett7989]

Looks like it's around Fairfield Sydney

[@kamararat7552]

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

[@brendanwilliams7291]

Great stuff, who was Albert Day?

[@jashugg]

A fictitious bloke with an easily rhymed surname.

[@Techo1329]

An old school poem/epitaph to warn of the dangers of being stubborn "Here lies the body of Johnny O'Day Who died Preserving His Right of Way. He was Right, Dead Right, as he sailed along But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong".

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

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

[@voluntarism335]

Fine then don't and have an accident

[@brendanwilliams7291]

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

[@jamesfrench7299]

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

[@gingersam851]

Miss the good old days of an all-white Australia. Fed up to the eyeballs with ceaseless propaganda praising to the skies the "benefits" of multiculturalism, "benefits" that nobody enumerated because there are none.

[@jamesfrench7299]

The only benefits I see are those the newcomers gain.

[@darioburatovich2240]

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

[@eaglescout1984]

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

[@absoluteb22]

It was borrowed from a home made/amateur erotic film. It appears they blew most of the money on the musical score and the actors were never financially compensated.

[@96visual]

2:52 4:23

[@voluntarism335]

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

[@Badassery666]

Women!
