FROM the moment Lucy Lieberman was born, she won over every nurse in the maternity ward.

By the time she was in preschool, she was skilled at ballet and played the lead as Snow White in a class play, telling her peers where to stand on stage.

But her final act came way too soon - dying in the wreck of her boyfriend Moustapha Haj's Honda Integra at Chipping Norton on Saturday night.

The crash prompted renewed calls for further restrictions on P-plate drivers. The head of police traffic command, Superintendent John Hartley, appealed to the Government to change laws to let police confiscate the cars of P-platers caught driving 20kmh over the speed limit. The Roads Minister, Michael Daley, indicated he would consider the proposal.

More than 500 people packed the Chevra Kadisha - a Jewish memorial hall - in Woollahra for Lucy's funeral service yesterday.

Delivering the eulogy, Rabbi Jeffrey Kamins described her as having a beautiful nature and a striking natural beauty.

She was the fashion police for her mother, Golda, and sister, Miriam, and learnt to play the trombone under the guidance of her musician father, Rubin, who would often brag about "the sparkles in her eyes" to friends.

But her most distinctive characteristic was her friendliness and openness, traits that led her to make friends with Mr Haj on Bondi Beach only a few weeks ago.

"Lucy may have been a Bondi girl who loved the beach, the sand and the picnics down the street from her home but she also adjusted to any situation, not just her different schools … but also bridging the world between Bondi in Sydney's east and multicultural Australia in the west," Rabbi Kamins said.

Lucy, 15, went to Bellevue Hill Public School and Randwick Girls High before moving to StClare's College at Waverley last year. Even at primary school, Rabbi Kamins said, she would ask to go to the toilet every five minutes as a pretext for skipping class, often not returning.
