Help! - hazard perception test
Just took a practice test, for some of the hazards I scored 0 even though I noticed them and clicked for them.. I think my problem is that I clicked too early.
After doing some research, it's recommeneded that you actually click 3 times as the hazard develops.. will I not be marked down for these extra unesscary clicks?
Also, does turning a corner/roundabout count as a 'hazard' that I need to click for?
thanks

I'm glad I'm old.
:eek:
Lol.. it's part of the theory test
Driving tests today are harder than they ever have been, I wouldn't want to be a learner today.
I cant drive for shit and havent for 8 years
I hate to agree, but it's true. I remember my daughter doing her practise stuff - I didn't have a clue. I remember her 'You don't know a lot Dad'. The reply of 'Yep, but I've got a license' did not go down well.
Ha, me too - passed first time, can't drive for sh*t and haven't done so for a couple of years.
I have failed the practical test twice
Could you get a practise dvd or something op? I got one for when I was practising for the test and it was very useful.
3 clicks for each hazard should be fine.
Good luck
Thats more or less when I did mine and I only just scraped through the Hazard Perception but scored full marks on the theory part
I actually found the real hazard perception test much easier than the ones that they present you with on the practice DVD's. The resolution of the clips is much better and generally speaking the hazards are much easier to spot.
that's good to hear, one thing I've always thought whilst doing these is 'how am I supposed to notice something in the distance with these crappy low resolution clips?!' They should change it to 'click when you see a conspicuous bunch of pixels in the distance'
If you get the latest test DVD from amazon it shows you where you clicked and where the scoring starts and finishes which is insightful.
New Driver: "Yes, I did. She came out between 2 parked cars."
Policeman: "Did you use your horn to warn her of your presence?"
New Driver: "The horn? I couldn't even find the mouse!"
:rolleyes:
I had a few goes at my daughter's DVD while she was studying for her theory test earlier this year.
By the time you've run through the test a few times, you get to know what's expected, and it becomes pretty easy.
I started on motorcycles & they have VERY different braking characteristics. My last bike was a CX500 Eurosport & it was a dog to try to stop. Slow & heavy.
There is also category A1, but nobody ever does that anyway.
That system has been in place for many years now, the only recent changes were to add the off-road section of the test which applies to all bike categories.
No, you don't get marked down for extra clicks, you get a score for the earliest response in the scoring zone.
The anti-cheat detection will only zero-score the clip if you click loads of times, not just for each hazard and a few extra.
Of course, in the times we live in, they skip the practical test and let you drive as soon as you've passed your theory.
O.P where did you do a practice one? Was it on a cd/dvd?
That's what I found too. The day of my test I was still failing at the practice hazard perception on the DVD but I passed my theory first time. The clips on the real thing are a lot easier. OP if you get a theory DVD you should be fine.
