Not sure how malicious this is but it was about as close as I had ever come.

This took back in the early 80’s long before graduated licences. My birthday falls on Victoria Day long weekend and just afterwards I was able to write my 365/ beginners licence. I had drivers education through the summer and near the end of August completed the training and went into the Ministry to book my G drivers test (Ontario Canada).

I came home and told my parents that I needed the car early Wednesday morning and my mother put a stop to that right away saying that she wanted me to have winter driving experience before I could take the test. So I clarified that I could take it in the spring.

In all honesty I couldn’t fault her for wanting that. Our winters back then were bad. If the highway wasn’t closed once a week due to snow storms we were having a good winter.

So, I went back to the ministry and cancelled my test for that upcoming week.

Fast forward through the winter to March. I went back to my mother and said that I again needed the car for my test and she immediately said no. I responded that she said I could get it in the spring and she said it’s not spring yet. I told her my test was on March 21st. The first day of spring. The look on her face was priceless and the laughter my dad had was even better. He looked at my mom and said, “well he’s got you there!”

I got my licence that day. Passed with flying colours.
