None of which I'm aware.

The mooted return to a single test has been firmly suppressed by the Sir Humphreys.

A training-rather-than-test route to upgrading license categories has also been kicked back into the long grass.

There may be changes to the CBT but not to tests. The only pending change that I know of is that from the end of 2018, 'A' test bikes will have to be 50kW+ and 180kg+.

It will maybe the change in the hazard perception from live action to computer generated images.

That's already in, did it a few weeks ago. Took me by surprise with its weird 'real but not real' look, and slightly dodgy animation.

I got distracted by it from a technical perspective, it's really well done, almost missed a few hazards from looking at the shading.

Same happened to me the other week, I was too focussed on the lady with retarded legs to spot a football being kicked into the road. But everything else looked completely realistic. Odd.
