Awful instructor in North Tyneside called Trevor Scott. On 11/02/23, he made unnecessary physical contact with me by pushing me aggressively 2-3 times. I reported this incident to PNG and the DVSA. Despite the fact that Trevor has a camera in his car, he lied about the incident, claiming that he gained my consent before touching me. He fabricated a story about how he had been teaching me to “creep and peep” and the physical contact was necessary because I couldn’t “grasp” the concept. At the time, I had been driving for 7 months so it goes without saying that I’m more than capable of creeping forward at a junction. Even if Trevor’s version of events were true, it would still be classed as unnecessary physical contact. The PNG code of conduct for instructors clearly states that they should avoid physical contact with learners unless there is an emergency. PNG’s response to my complaint has been inadequate. They have yet to inform me of if/when I’ll be refunded for the 42 hours I’ve booked; they’ve told me I have to wait 12 weeks for a new instructor. Because of this, I’ve had to cancel my practical test. They also take ages to respond to e-mails and I’ve spent so long trying to chase up my complaint.
