Hey all, passed my theory today.

34/35

and

49/75

I had a bit of a mishap at the first hazard perception video where I was clicking for things I considered a hazard (kids playing on the edge of a road), to which I scored 0 for. After being convinced of failing I calmed right down and proceeded with the remaining videos and come out on top Smile

A2 test booked for 7 June, with training starting on 5 June.

not cheap (£365), but is one of the top training places in the UK, Bristol Motorcycling Training Centre.

One step closer to losing my L's

there are 14 videos, 13 with 1 hazard in, 1 with 2 hazards.

Yes you can click too many times, after i cocked up the 1st video, I stuck to a max of 10 and was ok.

Good luck, the hazards are rather obvious... Most of mine were cars pulling out of junctions in front of you, one were sheep that kept walking in the road Rolling Eyes

You click once when you see it, again as it materialises (i.e car approaching from side road CLICK, car reaches give way CLICK car pulls out on you CLICK). You should find the hazards are pretty obvious, football coming from side of road, bus stopped on side of road, cyclist approaching parked vehicle.
Good luck Thumbs Up

Passed my Theory last week... HP part tough. i've been driving cars for 14 years, and I was spotting hazards too early. I pointed this out to one of the officials and they agreed! Just remember not to click repetitively as you will score 0, and if you see something register the click, then if it looks like you are going to move or slow down click ONCE more.

A good programme to get (cost £9.99) is DRIVING TEST THEORY which includes the Hazard Perception elements and will give you some good tips. It is for PC and you can get it from PC World and Gaming stores. Let us know how you get on...

Good Luck. Thumbs Up Smile Thumbs Up
