On Wednesday's programme, we found out more about the Consumer Council's recent reprimand of driving schools over opaque fees. The watchdog found that their headline package prices often omit unavoidable expenditures like car rentals for on-road lessons and fees for using the school's vehicles during the test. It also said courses at 11 driving schools failed to meet the Transport Department's recommendation of at least 30 hours of training, forcing students to sign up for extra lessons and go over the original budget.
