It's great that the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has agreed with me that driving instructors are in a position of trust with young (under 18) pupils. That means they have a Duty of Care, like teachers, that sexual relations are completely inappropriate and if they happen it will lead to the dismissal of the instructor.

Clarity for all, greater protection for young drivers and greater peace of mind for parents. Now to have this put in law, as it is for teachers.
