In the past if you wanted your driving licence the test was done by a Lidcombe Police Officer. I had learnt to drive on a VW with Ray(?) Lawley of Regent Park teaching me. First time out I was taken on to Parramatta Rd. I was horrified (not as horrified as I would be now) but even then it had a reputation. Licence test day came, I drove around the block and was asked to do a reverse park which I wasnt so good at but nevertheless passed. The Policeman said it will just take a bit of practice. That was 29 Feb 1968. Still driving defensively as I was taught with no major issues in all those years
