film about Learner Driver

[scalehill]

Anyone got sideline expertise in world cinema ?



A few years ago I watched on TV a French film, probably best described as ' a gentle comedy' the plotline concerned a family man who needed to pass his driving test to take up a job. The film featured heavy product placement of a Toyota car, think it was a Corolla. Any idea ?





thanks

Possibly Le Permis de Conduire (1974).



Permis de conduire, Le (1974)



A Toyota Mark II featured in it.

I seem to recall something about a pregnant woman in this movie and a visit to hospital. I saw it under the title The Driving Licence.



From memory, the guy pretended he'd passed his test.



Maybe the car ended up in the river at one point?



I think it was my first example of delightfully funny French movies.....along with Pardon mon Affaire.
