The Hazard Perception Test

The hazard perception test is taken once the multi-choice question test has finished. You will be permitted a three minute break, but then the test will begin.

To start with, a video tutorial will play. This will give details on how to take the test. It will also show an example of the film clips that make up the test. At the end of the tutorial, you will be given a chance to replay it.

The actual test will then begin. It will consist of 14 video clips, each filmed from the driver's point of view as they drive through various roads and traffic conditions.

Each clip contains one or more developing hazards - something that will force the car driver to stop, slow down or suddenly change direction. As soon as you see such a hazard develop you must respond by pressing the mouse button. The sooner you respond, the higher your score will be.

In thirteen clips, one hazard will develop. In one, two will develop.
