A lot less traffic then, but still had over 1034 killed on Victorian roads in 1970. I think that is at least ten times more likely to be killed driving a mile then.
It is Sydney throughout: 2:18 to 3:45 is most likely Victoria Avenue in Chatswood (totally changed beyond recognition nowadays) 3:46 to 4:11 I'm not sure, but looks like one of the streets again in Chatswood 4:12 to 4:15 is again Victoria Avenue in Chatswood 4:25 to 4:38 is the Cahill Expressway viewed from Mrs Macquaries Road 4:44 to 5:08 is St James Road in the city just after Queens Square 5:09 to 5:23 is a right turn from Elizabeth Street to Eddy Avenue, passing in front of Central Station 5:24 to 5:34 is the intersection of Park Street and Pitt Street in the city, heading towards Hyde Park (the only recognisable feature nowadays is the Criterion Pub) 5:41 to 6:11 is again Queens Square, this time entering Macquarie Street 6:12 to 6:47 is William Street heading towards Kings Cross. Driver eventually stops just before Crown Street. 6:48 to 7:17 is Pitt Street back in the city, heading north for Circular Quay, probably a bit north of Liverpool Street. The rest of the footage is Elizabeth Street in different shots from the Goulburn Street carpark, where trains from Central Station go underneath and split to form the city loop. Edit: 4:16 to 4:24 is yet again Victoria Avenue, but nothing in that clip remains nowadays www.google.com/maps/@-33.795977,151.1842085,3a,75y,247.38h,78.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smJF5jCoEZSnk4kUQ68183w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Hi Thomas. When the film eventually gets scanned again it will be at least 2K resolution. As a 16mm film original they don't always fair best at 4K. This copy is from an older telecine many years ago (pre HD).
Hmmmm the the 60s sounds like 2020 with the new suicide law for pushbikes that have no standard and the slow to 40kph on seeing an emergency light in 110 zone!.
Yes people do this, especially people who drive police cars and ambulances or (in the UK) people who sit their tests for Rospa and IAM Roadsmart. There is a whole host of 'commentary driving' videos on TH-cam for this demographic.

Still lots of valuable instruction from this.
I wish even 10% of drivers drove as well these days.
Maneuvering those Holden and Ford tank's without power steering in the city was a challenge.
...and that's why a Morris Elite was such a wise choice! (I'm biased, I own a couple of 'em.)
I like how the film finishes off with some "cocktail hour" music...🍸
'Driving in this kind of traffic is never pleasent.' So true.
City driving looks tough in 1969 , it's a wonder anyone survived on the roads in that bustling metropolis 🤔
Busier than Brisbane CBD is today...

Great video they should show this video in schools today.
I feel like I've waited so long for this installment. But thanks for the upload!
A very enjoyable look at the past.
Hi Anthony - yes quite a long wait. A few more eps to come. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@NFSAFilms great video that Australian airmen. Hopefully you put out more of those videos.
We want more episodes of defensive driving please... 🙏👍🏻👍🏻
All 9 episodes of that series uploaded already. 3 more to go for How To Drive.
@@NFSAFilms Ok i will be waiting for the next 3 episodes. Thanks
@@NFSAFilms great video they should show this video in school today.
@@NFSAFilms what year was this? It looks 1969.
The rooftop shots seem to be taken from the Goulburn St parking station
Pretty sure they used drones
Despite double declutching he crunches the gears on the downshift at 6:30
Nice shoes!
It's the putting on of the handbrake that gets me. Was that actually taught?
Can't wait for noisepuppet to tear this one apart.
Which city was that filmed in?
My guess is Perth
It is Sydney throughout:
2:18 to 3:45 is most likely Victoria Avenue in Chatswood (totally changed beyond recognition nowadays)
3:46 to 4:11 I'm not sure, but looks like one of the streets again in Chatswood
4:12 to 4:15 is again Victoria Avenue in Chatswood
4:25 to 4:38 is the Cahill Expressway viewed from Mrs Macquaries Road
4:44 to 5:08 is St James Road in the city just after Queens Square
5:09 to 5:23 is a right turn from Elizabeth Street to Eddy Avenue, passing in front of Central Station
5:24 to 5:34 is the intersection of Park Street and Pitt Street in the city, heading towards Hyde Park (the only recognisable feature nowadays is the Criterion Pub)
5:41 to 6:11 is again Queens Square, this time entering Macquarie Street
6:12 to 6:47 is William Street heading towards Kings Cross. Driver eventually stops just before Crown Street.
6:48 to 7:17 is Pitt Street back in the city, heading north for Circular Quay, probably a bit north of Liverpool Street.

Nice. Surely the NFSA could upscale to at least 1080p or even 4k?

Not much has changed except for the electronic distractions.
now try with the roads of today where there 5x thinner
The roads aren't thinner, the cars are wider!
@@snowleopard9749 And people are fatter lol
and car parks are shorter and def not thinner than ?
Intrestering to know...Aussies were able to drive stick / manual...
Most of us grew up with nothing else.
pretty good tips BUT you should not use the handbrake in traffic, it just slows progress and needlessly wears out your handbrake mechanism.
Ah, t he 60s. Where idealism vs reality.
3:10 Not likely to ever happen so perfectly
5:10 No one thinks like this. No one.
I do 🙂
