A friend of my parents got her drivers licence in the 50's, and was taught to drive by a neighbouring farmer who owned a relatively new Mercedes, which was a big deal in rural Australia in the 50s.

They rocked up at the police station for her to take her test, and when they went outside the cop asked the old farmer if he had taught her to drive in the Mercedes. When he replied yes the cop said words to the effect..."well if you let her drive that, then it's good enough for me, so come inside and I'll give you your licence" !!
