John is looking to increase his wages and has asked his boss to consider paying a bonus for anything more than 6 deliveries a day. His boss says this could be illegal. Is this correct?

Explanation: • Any bonus scheme for drivers is illegal: No, not all bonus schemes are illegal. It is possible to introduce a scheme around the identification of defects or the lack of accidents and this would be perfectly legal.
• There is nothing illegal about any bonus scheme: No, this is not true, any bonus scheme that might encourage a driver to break the law or take unnecessary risks is illegal.
• Provided you don't get caught: No, the notion of "getting caught" clearly implies that it is probably illegal.
• Any bonus scheme that encourages a driver to go faster or break the law is illegal: Yes, this is true.
