Default Re: What did you have to do to get your licence?

Never held a car licence. Closest I came was a NSW learners in 1958. Got my HR truck licence at Ipswich QLD after a half hour test where the Seargent threw the book at me (questions about road rules) while putting me through the wringer with various driving skill tests like reversing in to a space with 6 inches (150mm) clearance each side of an 8 foot wide(2.4m) truck using only my mirrors, which did not fit in. Only the tray would fit. No looking out the window to see where I was going. And anyone who lives in or near Ipswich would probably know the hill test hill. Possibly the only 30 degree incline hill in Queensland. 1st gear all the way down. Have had that licence for 40 years
