- AA driving schools ordered to refund 80,000 learner drivers over hidden fees
The AA driving schools were fined £4.2m and ordered to refund 80,000 learner drivers for hiding fees during bookings, a practice called 'drip pricing.' The UK competition watchdog found the AA and BSM Driving School violated regulations by not disclosing full lesson costs upfront, resulting in over £760,000 in repayments.
