Inappropriate driving instructor

Im 17 M
Any of you had a weirdo driving instructor? The one im currently with brings up inappropriate stuff every lesson. From talking about how he wants to “bang” underage girls to asking me “whats your favorite porn site?”. I’m a fairly strong character so don’t feel the need to tell anyone close to me, however it does make me feel very uncomfortable listening to him talking about this stuff. He is the only driving instructor currently available in my area so i can’t switch to someone else. I don’t know wheather to quit driving for now, potentially forgetting how to drive and waisting and the £400 ive already spent on lessons with him. My 2nd option is to carry on having lessons with him untill i pass my test which could mean another 3 months with him. Any advice would be appreciated. Let me know if you have had a similar situation. Cheers guys!

Difficult if you have no other local options but I would still get rid ASAP.

You can complaint about them here:

I think my options would either be 'Sack them' for the whole obvious issue or call them out on it which may not be ideal and still have the same result.

I don't think I'd be able to just put up with it and constructively learn over time. Are they really the only option? you might find instructors from nearby areas willing to travel out their normal area to you if you book 2 hour slots or a package etc, I did.

You'll know better than us, but I would consider the possibility that he is just winding you up a bit and putting you on the spot which may put a different slant on it, just a possibility though and doesn't make it professional or ok
