Driving test cheats; Amazon ad ban; Training shoes sales row
Why are so many cheating their driving theory test?
Amazon is banned from using a 'misleading' ad for its Prime service. And the sports shop owner taking on Nike in the courts
We look at why more and more people are risking jail by cheating during their driving theory test. Data from The Driver and Vehicle Standard Agency shows the number of candidates caught cheating has increased threefold over the last five years with over 1500 fraudulent cases logged in the past twelve months. We explore the technology people are using to cheat the test - and ask...has the test simply got harder?
The Advertising Standards Authority has banned Amazon from using an ad for its Prime service, accusing it of misleading customers. The ad appears during the check-out process, encouraging customers to opt into the Amazon Prime scheme. The ASA said the option to continue without signing up for the trial was small and placed in a position which could easily be missed by consumers, faint in colour and significantly less prominent. Amazon has told You and Yours they're "disappointed that the ASA has chosen not to act on evidence we’ve contributed to this investigation" .
We hear from the independent sports shop owner taking on the giant Nike in the courts. Nick Mavrides claims he is no longer able to sell Nike trainers as the company concentrates its sales on their own stores, and online. It's damaging business, he says. Nike say they're just responding to a rapidly changing marketplace.
And in a month's time a Government bonus savings scheme designed to help young people save towards the deposit on a first home will come to an end. The Help to Buy Isa offers to match savings with a 25% bonus from the government up to a value of Β£3,000. So you'd have to save Β£12,000 to get the maximum amount. We look at whether it is worth signing up before it is too late
