Making money from your old clothes, whether they're high end or bargain basement, cutting deaths among young drivers, and how to attract big bands to your small town.

How to turn your old clothes into cash - whether they're high end or bargain basement.

Inexperienced young drivers are involved in a disproportionately high number of road accidents causing death or serious injury. They learn about external hazards for the driving test - but what about behaviour inside the car? A teenager who passes the test in ideal conditions during the day, could be out driving that evening with a car-full of loud, lairy and most importantly, distracting mates. We hear about new technology that could help put a wise driving head on young shoulders and reduce the death toll amongst teenage motorists.

And - if you live outside the big cities where bands usually stage concerts, there's a new way to attract them to play where you live - even if it's off the usual tour circuit. Find out how you could choose who plays and where they put on the show.

Presenter: Julian Worricker.
