I learnt to drive in an XW Falcon, three on the tree (with no syncromesh on first) and four wheel drum brakes. So with one gear to slow you down and brakes that faded if you were stopping from anything higher than about 80, I can tell you I learnt to read the road about 20 cars ahead. Even today with four wheel power-assisted disc brakes with emergency assist and everything else, I still drive like a granddad.
