Hazard Awareness Test.

[Dave70]

What a b'stard!

Eventually got around to sitting my theory last week and although I actually passed, I was convinced I had massively ballsed it up on the hazard perception part, even though I was pretty confident on the theory side (got 49/50 as it turned out). After the final clip, I just sat back in the chair and thought "oh well, I screwed that up". Got outside the test centre and reluctantly opened up the envelope, only to find out I had passed both parts.

Having only done a little practice on the AA online mock exam, the one over here was quite a bit different. Not only by way of the clips shown but, you only had five attempts of clicking per clip and I managed to totally miss one of the hazards

Anyway, that's the hard bit over with. Got a refresher lesson Monday and my instructor said he'll give me the form afterwards for my practical (he's taken me through the practical test twice and told me I would have passed if it was the actual exam, so fingers crossed that I'll be able to get 4 points for speeding in style soon , rather than on a 125 or even just hit the throttle and pull a wheelie while going pass the po po holding the speed gun while giving the finger and screaming catch me sucker

Disclaimer: That last part was a joke. I can't do wheelies yet

It's easy and IMO not something you can prepare for. If you follow the instructions and aren't a moron you should pass.

It's a bit of a con if you already hold a licence. I have had a car driving licence and have been driving a car for many years. A few years ago I decided to go for my bike test. I had to sit a perception test that I thankfully passed, but...what would have happened had I failed?

Open an envelope? They printed mine out and just said I passed, gave me the paper and said how many I got right...

If you fail the motorcycle theory test then you're still legal to ride home on L plates or to drive home if you've got a full car license.

It says on the DSA site about over clicking and how you'll get nil points. It also says that the most you can score for each developing hazard is 5 points, I presume that where the confusion about only being allowed to click 5 times has come from.

That test is a bit of a sham, really.Some of the hazards don't develop until later and you never know how many are correct or where you went wrong. Even thought they warn against it I reckon some people score highly if they smother each clip with five or six random clicks!

Doing my bike theory I was over thinking thanks to the stuff I've read on here. I was clicking for the hazard, then thinking maybe that was too early and clicking again, then thinking well which click will the developing hazard score from (the first or second)? I passed with 54, still pretty low, but better than the 45 I scraped through on my car one. Oh one of the clips I remembered from my car theory

It's just a game, play it as such. Don't treat it as anything remotely connected to reality.

I found the Hazard perception test pretty easy, more so then doing the questions in the other test its self. I know a few people at work who have panicked over the Hazard part. Both my bike & car I got 58 out of 75 - Yet on the questions I got 46/50 on the bike & 43/50 on the car

Did my theory test today in sunny Slough. There was no mention of a maximum number of clicks, in fact on the introduction video it showed someone clicking about 10 times in 30 seconds! I'm not sure how the cheat detection works but I think you would need to click a lot for it to accuse you of cheating. Sounds like there are different rules outside of England.

In one of my clips I'm sure there must've been about 5 hazards. It was in a little village with cars popping out of every nook. It seems a little unfair that they preselect only one or two to score you on. I scored a whopping 52 in the end but I was a bit worried because when I took my car theory test about 10 years ago it was just before they increased the pass mark and had I taken the test a week later I would've failed it!
