Brazilian Man Arrested For Impersonating Mum In Driving Test
A 43-year-old man has been arrested in north- ern Brazil for dressing up as his mother to take her driving test.
When Heitor Schiave's 60- year-old mother, Maria, failed her test three times, the mechanic decided to step in.
Wearing a floral blouse and sport- ing painted nails, make-up and a wig, he drove around Nova Mutum Paraná and his plan
appeared to be paying off.
But suspicions were soon raised that the woman in the driving seat was not the woman on "her" ID.
"He tried to be as natural as possi- ble. He wore lots of make-up with his nails nicely done and [wore] women's jew- ellery," instructor Aline Mendonça told G1.
The police were called and he was arrested at
the driving school for fraud and mis- use of someone's identity.
"He's already confessed. He confessed that he wasn't the woman in question but the son, her son who was trying to pass as his mum so that she would be able to pass this practical driv- ing test," the instructor added.
Mr Schiave reportedly said that his mother did not know of the plan.
