edbermac's JournalBrazilian man dresses as mother to take driving test after she failed three times.
A man has been arrested for attempting to take a driving test on his mother’s behalf – by dressing like her in a bold attempt to fool examiners.
Heitor Márcio Schiave, 43, wore a stuffed bra, floral top, long skirt, earrings, and a handbag to impersonate his mother at the State Department of Traffic in Novo Mutum Parana, in the Brazilian Amazon. Mr Schiave’s mother, Dona Maria, had failed her driving test three times before he decided to take the matter into his own hands.
Brazil police were tipped off by an examiner who became suspicious that Mr Schiave was not the person on the ID he handed over, reported local news site G1.When police arrived at the department, Mr Schiave had started the parking test. He was arrested for fraudulent misrepresentation. They then called Ms Maria to inform her of the impersonation, and she reportedly did not know her son was attempting to take her driving test for her.
The examiner, Aline Mendoça, told local media: “He said he stole his mother’s documents, went to the school, printed and paid the retest fee unbeknownst to her, that everything was planned by himself.
“I think he pitied his mother for failing three times.” Ms Mendoça added: "I thought she was drunk at first. As I had a lot of people to evaluate, I left her last. When I realised that the student was actually a man, I decided to proceed normally and wait for the Military Police to take action."
Mr Schiave has since been released by the court and may face a fine for his actions.

Somebody sounds nervous.
Trump won't be impeached because we don't have a smocking gun.
Damn!

Darwin Award nominee: Maine man shot and killed by his own booby trap.
(CNN)A Maine man was killed by a device he made for the front door of his home, police say.
Ronald Cyr, 65, called 911 on the evening of Thanksgiving Day and reported he had been shot, the Van Buren Police Department said.
When officers arrived, they discovered a device on the front door of the man's home that was designed to fire a handgun if anyone attempted to enter, the department said.
Police found other unknown devices around the house and contacted the state's bomb squad.
After an hours-long investigation, authorities determined Cyr, who later succumbed to his injuries, was hit after an "unintentional discharge of one of his homemade devices," the department said.

I did a search to see if this was posted and found a similar incident happened last year. That guy survived. I guess some people never learn.
