What happens
Leroy pesters his uncle Gildersleeve daily for a driver's permit and follows him everywhere, including to a date with Paula at the house. Leroy finally gets his chance to take the permit test, but Gildersleeve discovers his own driver's license has expired. The two must sit through the written examination and driving test at the police station, where the sergeant administering the tests has already had a run-in with Gildersleeve. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode first aired on NBC on September 17, 1952, with Harold Peary and Willard Waterman in the lead roles.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
