Remember, Down the road not across the street.


On a more serious note...

You only have to get 60% to pass or something on the Hazard Perception, which is like 45 out of 75 points, Just don't go crazy on the clicks.

Just click when you see a potential hazard, again when the hazard is forming, again during and then again after.... You should score 2-3 points on each clip then

My test is this Thursday MCW, the hazard perception is the bit I'm mildly worried about as well.

Doing a bit of practice online might help - this one looks like its actually using some form of official videos too:

Let you know how I go!

Giggidy Mr. Green


Treat the hazard perception test as a game. Everytime that you see something that will make you slow down or change direction, click then click again a second or two later.

Everyone I know who has done the test (including myself) found it far far easier than any of the practice tests they tried. Your greatest threat cock up wise is nerves so just relax and try not to treat it as a be all and end all because it really really isn't. Worst case scenario is cock up and do it again Smile

Best of luck MCW

RELAX Very Happy

I've got a cd thingy you can have if you want to PM me your address - i can get it off today, and you can then practice like mad if you've not already done so? Payment will be a frothy hot chocolate with marshmallows & cream please!!

As a driver I would have thought that the hazards bit wouldn't bother you? it's just common sense driving skills...

My Technique is to click as soon as I see a "hazard" then keep clicking intermittently as it approaches.

As long as you're not literally clicking in a pattern and you don't double-click, you won't get picked up for cheating by clicking a lot.

Double click. The hazard perception does not really take into account reaction times. The scoring system is for cars it seems and its well known that bikers tend to see things that little bit faster.

Basically click when you see the hazard and then give it half a second or so then click again.

Remember, just because there is only one hazard in each clip (I know, one has 2 hazards) this does not mean you look for one hazard only. Anything you PERCIEVE to be a hazard can be clicked even if its not the DSA hazard.

https://www.theory-test.co.uk/asp/hazard_perception_info.asp

Go practice and good luck.

i failed several practices on the hazard perception lastnight in work which had me worried, but i've just come home from passing the real one with 66/75.

keep ya head up and keep at it. soon as you see something, click. when you see it get worse, click again. and when it's properly in your way, click again.

the explanation on the video at the test centre is FAR better than any other i've seen or heard. explains hazards, and how you should click when they develop etc... even has a video with the hazards all circled etc and tells you exactly when you should be clicking.

you'll be fine as long as you don't panic Thumbs Up

Click when you see some fucker being silly on the video.

Keep an eye out for tards at crossings and faggots with doors opening.

Once you get the Cd I've sent you, just do all the questions again and again, and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Good luck xxx
