    just heard about this, there are new test criteria being roumored:

    1) all driving instructors must pass an instructors course before they are allowed to do business

    2) all applicants must first sit 30 hours of theoretic driving instructions (rules of the road, the technical workings of a car, driving physics)

    3) all applicants must pass a theoretical test before they are allowed to drive

    4) all driving instruction to be performed by certified testers in dual control cars only

    5) all applicants must show 15 hours of city/town driving, 2 hours of overland driving, 2 hours of motorway driving and 2 hours of night driving under tuition before they are allowed to do the practical test.

    6) the practical driving test will be carried out by testers on a rotating schedule (ie different testers every week) and on a totally random test route as decided and instructed by the tester during the test



    oh no ...hang on ...that's not new at all :D

    That is in fact what I had to go through to get my license 25 years ago
