These are simply superb series of videos. After driving for 15 years, I’m wondering why driving schools in my country don’t teach defensive driving techniques to all the new drivers. I found these videos very relevant to my country (India) as these videos show driving on left side of the road and the narration is in an accent which is easy to follow. I have promised myself I will make my kids watch all these videos when they get to legal age to drive. If anyone hasn’t watched “Defensive driving techniques” by NFSA films, please don’t miss.
Groovy finger snapping tunes. If only everyone listened to these kinda of tunes the world would be safer for driving
yes. all day long.
Shirt and tie, clean shaven. Well groomed and well spoken. Courteous and considerate.
That was just 50 years ago. What will Australia be like 50 years hence?
I dread to think....
Clean shaven? Not for much longer.....
Driver was actually a copper, so no surprise.
These are pure gold
Hi guys, thanks for sharing these, they're my fave vids on this channel. Are there more to come? It's great seeing all the old scenery and cars. Cheers!
Thanks for letting us know. Yes there are a few more episodes in this series. Stay tuned.
Still relevant today.
not in 5-10 years though -- when driving is automated :)
should be compulsary viewing for all those freaks from overseas driving gypsy taxis (uber) after being here a week.
I have learned so much seeing these videos...
I wish our roads were like that today.
haha how many roads were like this in 1978? This must be canberra...
It looks to me like it's almost certainly Yarra Boulevard in Kew/Hawthorn (Melbourne)
It sounds like James Dibble on song. What a wonderful voice. A natural.
Please upload more videos on road safety.... Thanks for uploading....
More to come. Thanks for the feedback.
Good advice is good advice, although today they don't instruct you in feeding the wheel. Instead they tell you to hold it at 9 and 3 positions. Also, when overtaking, in addition to checking mirrors, also quickly check your blind spot.
9-3 position is recommended by pro racers.
Feeding the wheel is bad, and outdated, advice.
nice 1 lol good old days :)
this is the stuff they dont teach kids today. a basic drive and park the car is nothing
We're here to help :)
This film was made in 1969.
Right you are.
Those 3 on the trees were rotten things to use once they wore out a bit. They often jammed. 1st to 2nd in particular required some skill, particularly uphill from a standstill. Floor transmissions are far better.
@H HOUR HOTEL
Yes they were shockers. If you chose the Trimatic autos.....they were crap as well!
fantastic series. BUT where is all the traffic! six lane freeway and so few cars - unbelievable
I was learning to drive only 10 years after this was filmed, and I should have been shown some of these videos, might have been a safer driver. But at least I read Peter Wherrett's book on car control. All common sense stuff.
Yes Peter has lots of good advice - we have him here teaching the basics of motorcycle riding

Thanks, I appreciate it.
I was taught in '75, and I never saw them either. Would have been very useful.
@@NFSAFilms Awesome, Peter Wherrett was great.
Anyone know where 9:15 is, with the horses?
Where was this filmed. It looks VERY like yarra boulevard in kew. 6:40 even looks like raheen on the top of the hill. Does anyone know.
Recognise De Burghs Bridge on Lane Cove Road, near Lady Game Drive at 7:16 to 8:31

Exactly my thoughts. Just wish they went a little further; the Yanko Road turnoff would confirm it.
@@27011946645 Not convinced. Where are you thinking?
1:04 WRONG. Rolling action is dependent on SPEED, RADIUS and BANKING of the turn. That's why on higher speed roads they should be banked higher on the outside lane so that the rolling action of centrifugal force is reduced. I guess they didn't have banked roads in 1969 Australia but they did in Germany on the autobahn since the 1930s...
The video is not incorrect because the overall context of the statement relates to the car's own dynamics rather than the road. The examples given are on a very wide and flat road, so that different speeds and radii for one car can be shown at the same bend. A road's banking does influence the rolling action but is not innate to the car itself.
The video does concern itself with physics but is more interested in actually operating the car. The average driver usually won't be given much information about whether a bend is banked, but can only look for the advisory speed and sharpness of the bend itself. So an 'average Joe' approach to driving is necessary for this video, whether the bend is banked or unbanked or sloping away from the turn.
That looks like a Ford XT Falcon he's driving.
Correct. 1968.
Thank you. I didn't know what year it was.
@H HOUR HOTEL Was it? I wasn't around in 1968. So I wouldn't know one way or another.
@H HOUR HOTEL Were they? What made them "rubbish"?
@H HOUR HOTEL What makes GMH cars rubbish? I grew up being told the same thing about Ford cars.
He didn't check the blind spot before changing lanes & overtaking !
They even paid a British guy to come and do the voiceover. No Aussies available???
Nope. It's James Dibble. More well known for presenting ABC TV News for 27 years. Born in Newtown, Sydney.
