To expect my driving instructor to arrive on time?

I live in East London and am learning to drive. I have lessons on Mondays because that's my husband's day to work from home, so he looks after our 16 month old DS while I go out and drive. I started learning in November. The problem is that my instructor has never once been on time. She's either 30 mins early or 30 mins late, and often there's another student in the back of the car that I have to 'drop off' on my lesson. I was due to start my lesson at 2 today and just got a phone call at five past to say that she's about 5 miles away and 'on her way'. Who knows when she'll get here?! Husband has to go to the bank before it shuts later and he's fretting now about getting there.

AIBU? Should I ditch her? My test is booked for next month!

My driving instructor used to frequently call other students to arrange lessons while I was driving. He also smoked throughout them. He also once tore off at the end of a lesson with me in the passenger seat to confront some lads who he thought threw something at the car. I couldn't wait to get away from those lessons.

My last instructor used to grab the wheel so I could look at the nice big houses in the country side Hmm I was not impressed I had seen those houses many times before. He also used to spend more time checking his hair in the mirror than paying attention to how I was driving. He would let me speed without saying a word at all! Wold sit texting away got my own back on my last lesson though when I did my emergency breaking practise like he told me at said place and he was still staring at his phone screen Wink
