When I turned 18 I drove my 1929 Holden bodied fabric saloon to the Motor Registration branch in the Exhibition Buildings. The burly policeman looked in the back where he was supposed to sit and said to my licenced mate- you sit in there.
We drove briefly around the city and he said that is enough you have got your licence, even though I was doing the full Austin 7 footbrake, handbrake, gearshift, steering wheel tango !
I had been driving the 7 around for at least a year before :-)
