Some events are, of course, unpredictable and neither ourselves or the DVSA expect drivers to be able to predict all hazards. However, the majority of hazards are predictable. This type of hazard could require you to react sooner.
Good drivers are always assessing the situation around them. This includes identifying where the biggest threat is coming from and taking any action necessary to stop or limit that threat. The action a driver may have to take could be slowing down, selecting a different gear, covering the brakes, signalling, taking a different line around a corner, waiting or accelerating away from danger. To complete this part of the driving theory test you will be required to view and respond to 14 video clips.
The clips usually last for about a minute. Your test is scored out of 75 points overall. The most points you can score by spotting a hazard are 5. There are 13 video clips with 1 hazard in them and one clip has 2 hazards in it.
You need 44 points to pass. Just like in the olden days of cinema, these clips have no sound. You will have a mouse to respond to the developing hazards. Whenever you think you see a hazard developing you can respond by clicking on the mouse, either using the left or right button. Ultimately how quickly you respond to a developing hazard will determine the score you receive for each clip. So, just to be on the safe side, respond to each development.
Prior to the start of the exam, a short video will play on the computer. This is an introductory video explaining how the hazard perception test works and how to respond in order to complete it. This is the video that will be played, so you can watch it and become accustomed to it:.
Each of the video clips will start with a frozen frame and a countdown timer that starts at To let you know that the computer has recorded your response to a clip a red flag will appear each time you respond to a clip. These flags will appear over a grey banner. At the end of each clip the screen will go blank for a few seconds, then the freeze frame of the next clip will appear and the countdown timer will commence, giving you time to prepare for the next clip. This will be repeated for each of the 14 clips.
When a hazard fully develops the driver will perform a manoeuvre to avoid an accident. This could be slowing down, swerving or stopping. Remember : You must comply with your P1 licence restrictions until you upgrade your licence and receive either your driver licence receipt or new licence card. You need to pay a fee to get access to the test. You will have access to the test for up to months. The test will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes, you will need at least that amount of time connected to the internet.
