Driving instructors

Instructors exploiting learner drivers at a particularly vulnerable time is utterly reprehensible and inexcusable, and punishment should be swift.

Older readers may remember a series of successful Confessions films in the 1970s featuring Robin Askwith, films which played on what might generously be termed seaside humour. 

Askwith’s misadventures with the opposite sex came in the guise of Confessions of a popstar, or a window cleaner — or a driving instructor.
