Today, my dad took my car keys off my keychain and hid them from me. His reasoning was, "I don't want you to be driving during the winter." Guess who has to walk ten miles a day to work, through the New England snow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Today, my dad got extremely drunk, so I took away his car keys and left on foot. When I came back, I saw that he had broken down my door. Now my dad is mad at me for not giving him the keys when he was drunk, and I'm door-less. FML
Today, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML
Today, my dad tried to confiscate my car keys because he doesn’t like how late I stay out on the weekends. I’m 26, have owned my own home since I was 24, and also how the fuck does he know what time I get home? My own dad is stalking me. FML
Today, I spent nearly half an hour clearing several inches of snow off my car. After almost suffering from hypothermia, I finished. Except the car keys were missing from my pocket, presumably buried under a foot of snow. FML
Today, I got fired. By my father. He wants me to drive him to work tomorrow. FML
Today, late for work, I called my dad to see if he knew where my keys were. Turns out he'd taken them on holiday with him because they have a bottle opener on them. FML
Today, a snow storm rolled into my small town, leaving my car stuck under 3 feet of snow. I called my boss to tell her I couldn't drive to work. Her reply? "Walk." FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML
Today, after a week of looking for my car keys and being forced to drag my family around on public transportation, my wife found the keys in our car's ignition. FML

You should reason with him. That sounds quite a bit more dangerous than driving in the snow.

Make him walk 10 miles in the snow and cold one day and see how he likes it.

you know there is not really any snow in mass atm, the walk sucks but don't fake having to trudge through non existing snow. phony.

Take his keys and use his car instead.

I enjoy New England in the fall but their roads are awful. I wouldn't want any kids of mine driving on them in the winter either! But I would never make them walk more than one mile. Never alongside a road with only a ditch or embankment either. We would figure out something reasonable. For that aspect I feel for you OP. But He shouldn't have to hide anything to make you respect his rules. That shows a lack of maturity in itself. As long as your in his care his rules take first priority. I feel like there is more to this story for the dad to seem so extreme. Meanwhile get a bus pass or ride share w someone and pay in for some gas.
