Hi Guy's
When i got my MR Truck Licence in 1980 ( i got My HR Licence at a later date).
I went for the test in a V8 Dodge Truck that had a crash gearbox. I went to the Department of Motor Transport as it was known then at Rosebery in Sydney.
The instructor took me all around Rosebery, then we got to a very steep hill and he told me "to pretend i have lost my brakes and go thru the gears".
I wasn't allowed to touch the brakes on my way down the hill and had to get into first gear at the bottom of the hill.
I started my decent down the hill, the instructor making sure i wasn't touching the brake pedal and going thru the gears till i got to the bottom.
Yes I did Pass and i got my Licence.
