Hazard Perception Test
This test is designed to test your abilities to identify hazards. First you will be shown a tutorial video which you can repeat if you wish. The test consists of 14
video clips which last for about a minute each. In each clip there will be a developing hazard which you will need to react to by clicking a mouse button as
soon as you see a hazard which could be other vehicles, pedestrians or other road conditions, which if you were driving would require action by changing
speed or direction. There are 15 scoreable hazards and you need to respond as soon as you spot the hazard. The pass mark for the hazard perception test is
57 out of 75.
 
If you fail on either part of the test you will have to take the complete part 1 test again. There are no restrictions as to how many attempts you may have at the
theory/hazard perception test.
