HAZARD PERCEPTION TEST – THE FACTS
Before you can take a driving test, every learner driver must first pass the theory and hazard perception test. You will be shown a total of 14 video clips, each about a minute long. Each clip shows driving situations involving other road users and is filmed from a car driver’s point of view. The objective is to identify a hazard – something which will cause the driver to change speed or direction. Thirteen of the clips will show one hazard, in the remaining clip, there will be two hazards. But the order of the clips is pre-determined, in other words, you will not be warned in advance of the clip which contains the two hazards.
How do I select the hazard?
It’s really simple. All you need to do when you spot a hazard is click either the left or right mouse button. The earlier you click means the more points you score. The later you click means you will score less. The points start from 5 to 0. By the way, if you randomly click in the hope that you might “catch” the hazard, then think again. The test will recognise random clicks and will simply zero your score. However you will not lose any points if you click at other potential hazards you see during the film clip.
The Pass Rate
To pass the test you must score at least 44 points out of a possible 75.
Theory first
The Hazard Perception Test is taken on the same day after the theory test. You will be allowed a break of up to 3 mins between the tests and you will be given a short tutorial video before each test begins.
Enjoy our FREE film
You may already have purchased a Hazard Perception DVD and had plenty of practice spotting hazards using the same film clips again and again. The problem is that by now you’ll be used to watching the same film clips and well aware when the hazard is about to occur. To help you with extra practice, Surepass have designed a unique film with a completely different set of hazards. It works in the same way as the actual hazard perception test, but, to help you further we’ve even highlighted the hazards to you. Good luck.
