Confessions of a Driving Instructor is a 1976 British sex-farce film directed by Norman Cohen and starring Robin Askwith and Anthony Booth. It was the third instalment of the Confessions series, based on the novels by Christopher Wood (as Timothy Lea).

Plot

Timothy Lea joins his brother-in-law's driving school. Their school is soon in rivalry with a competing school, while Timothy finds himself involved in erotic adventures with his clients, secretary and landlady. His clients are a mix of the inept and the dangerous and mayhem ensues. A rugby match is organised between the two schools, at which one of the rival school's instructors unknowingly swallows a powerful aphrodisiac and rampages around the field, an event that leads to the climactic car chase.

Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A fifth-rate potboiler of proven commercial value. Considering all the whiskery gags and double entendres wheeled out in this episode of the Cohen-Wood Confessions, it is surprising that Miss Slenderparts' reckless driving is the single example of a woman-driver joke (which is incidentally amusing only because the stuntperson substituting for Irene Handl is so plainly a burly man). More dispiriting than the ingenuous hero's three or four mannerisms (an apprehensive glance, a tug at the underpants, an empty grin) is the misguided enthusiasm displayed by both old and new hands."
