Hazard Perception Test Motorcycle Theory CGI

[Arcane1729]

Is the hazard perception test going to be something in CGI? like this:

I have been practicing on real life videos-

Also do the videos in practice tests ever come up in the real thing?

Also the video quality of the real life ones was shocking.

As above, mine was CGI aswell. Which helps as some of the videos you could barely see the hazard within the timeframe

[ScaredyCat]

Is that example claiming there's only the one hazard in that video, the tractor?

I passed mine last Monday and yes, they're exactly like the one in the link you posted. However, none of the clips on the test were the same as what's on the official dvsa practice disc, which I would highly recommend getting a copy of btw, as it'll get you used to where they want you to actually click, as opposed to where you might click.

As mentioned above, the test is a farce and serves no useful purpose in reality, except for bringing in extra revenue due to folk having to re-sit it.

I believe Rogerborg summed it up best by saying you should treat it like a computer game.

Get yourself the DVD from the safedrivingforlife shop or something. The hazard perception is CGI and as far as I recall that clip is one of many mini clips on the DVD.

One thing you need to understand is that the hazard perception is a game and another hoop to jump through. Don't sweat caring about what is and isn't a hazard, just learn when the game wants you to click and get through it and never think about it again.

I found the CGI quality distractingly good, almost missed a hazard looking at the grass.

It took me a couple of minutes to realise it was cgi when I sat mine - must have been nervous - or the drugs...

I've got to admit I found the whole CGI thing very distracting. I got lower marks on that than the practice ones with the real videos even though the CGI ones are MUCH higher quality. Just concentrate on the hazards and don't think too much about how weird the people look

If you're having lessons ask your instructors if they've got a copy of the DVSA practice DVD (or whatever it is) they can lend you, no point buying one if you don't need to.

CGI clip is fucking shite. They spent taxpayer money on this rubbish?!?!? MY MONEY!?!? Red circle of death and noone even died

Yup, I did the hazard perception and theory, to go from an A2 license, to an A about June last year. Despite having done it twice (once for A2, and once for B license), I managed to fail the hazard perception.

Obviously the tests fault But I was surprised by the CGI.
In some respects it's easier now as everything is more obvious and actions are pronounced. It's easier to read whats coming next imo. It can have the negative effect of making you jump the gun a little bit though and click too early for a hazard which you can see is about to take place. In my first attempt at the hazard perception, the video said that there were only two or three hazards per clip. It said you can click more times but they won't be logged. So when the clips played I used my clicks wisely and tried to click at the perfect moment as early as I thought I could get away with for a hazard. Perhaps only 3 or 4 clicks per video. I failed and the lady on my way out gave me a funny remark about not paying enough attention to the videos and spotting enough hazards.
On my second attempt I thought feck this and just clicked at everything, almost to the point of clicking constantly and blindly at anything that half resembled a hazard. I passed so I think the test is pretty flawed tbh.

did mine this morning, it was much better quality than the clip posted here. I clicked a couple of times when I saw a hazard, to make sure I didn't clock too early. What is a "hazard" is introduced quite well really at the test, so not too much to be concerned about.
