A DRIVING instructor told a woman getting lessons she was "drop-dead gorgeous", asked if she was single, and said "Who's your daddy" 15 times, a complaint received by the RSA said.

Another Approved Driving Instructor who was in his 60s told a 22-year-old student that "girls on their period never do well in their driving test" because it affects their coordination and they "get flustered".
