Click everytime you see a potential hazard. The cut off is around 1 a second, so any little thing click on the off chance, it will only mark you down if you're tapping very quickly.

Go through all the stuff that could become hazards - kids, bikes on the pavement etc. A car that could pull out, etc.

I agree with G, have you got the practise software that you can install on your PC?

When i did mine i borrowed a dvd from stafford libary. You can actually have a practise on the hazard perception with the dvd remote.
Worth doing IMO

Good luck Thumbs Up

Yeah, it's really easy, just click when you see something on the screen that /could/ be a hazard.

Same as if you were riding down the road, looking out for potential hazards, and you think to yourself, blind sideroad, something could come out of there, or, parked car with people near it, or car with it's wheel turned to pull out, you never can be too sure they may have forgotten to put their indicator on... All you do is click once each time. Easy. Thumbs Up

click when there's something that could be a hazard, then click again if it becomes a hazard ie. it causes you to change velocity.

Don't forget pedestrian crossings, traffic lights, central reservations can all be hazards, as well as crests in the road. Pay attention to the lane dividers, too. long line, short break indicates a hazard, short line long break is normal, so if you see a change, you may need to click.

Good luck Thumbs Up
