Drive, but not angry just pissed

Several days ago i attempted to get a driver's licence, since i don't have a national Identity card, or an international passport (at least not yet), the only good source of identity is the National Driver's Licence. My uncle escorted me to get it, he taught it would be an easy feet; besides he said in his day all you needed to do was show up, talk to the Road Safety official and then get a licence.
Fortunately or Unfortunately (I don't know which should come first), things had changed. I was told to get certificate from a driving school to show that i had completed the driving course. No problem, i said in my mind besides, i had gone through the course, i had not just gone to collect my certificate.
My uncle and i drove down to the school to get the certificate. I was told to fill in my full name and he would start to process the certificate.
Then for a certain reason i still do not understand, he asked if i had actually finished from the driving school, then he decided to check their records.... he could not find my name on it.
I was embarrassed, cause i knew i had finished from that school; but as far as the man was concerned, i had not come to the school before.
Then one (Over sabi) or I know it all teacher started asking me about road signs and took me to see some drawn on a board, if you saw the road signs drawn by a quack artist, believe me you won't have known they were road signs at all ! i tried them and well failed them or at least to him i failed it all.
He too felt i had not gone to a driving school. So he challenged me to start a car and reverse it... i did that, then he told me to move the car forward, and i did
that too, but the car stalled.
In the end, i got the certificate, but not the licence.
Am angry at my dad for it, I had asked him to let me collect my drivers licence and certificate when i had finished the driving school earlier but he had refused he refuses to let me drive his cars or even practice with his Honda Accord (His precious baby) and the only time i get to practice is just to reverse his car but not
outside his gates.
Otherwise am stuck with a station wagon with stiff a steering which my uncle uses most of the time..
