Responsible driving habits should be ingrained during the early stages of learning to drive. As such, young future drivers should be entrusted to qualified instructors.

Recently, I was waiting for a ride just outside St Luke's Hospital. Cars were stopping behind others that were angle-parked. Some drivers stopped briefly to let a passenger out, which is fair enough. Along came a driving school car, stopping quite some distance behind the parked cars, with the student driver behind the wheel. The instructor emerged and walked across to the other side of the hospital. He was gone for several minutes. When he returned it was the student's turn to cross in the same direction.

I left a while later so I don't know how long this driving school car was parked illegally. Maybe this isn't the norm but there goes one future driver who has been given a "good" lesson.

Come to think of it, turning on the hazard lights might be dealt with in a future lesson.
