motorcycle theory test

[terry_gardener]

please can someone tell me if the motorcycle hazard perception part is the same as the car version. i know the multiple choice questions has more bike related questions but is the hazard perception part the same.

I did it 4 days ago using only Car HPT software to revise and that prepared me fine, the HPT is the same for both Car and Motorcycle.

You don't really need to buy any motorcycle theory training stuff if you have the car stuff already. I made do with my old car theory questions and most of the questions are the same. There's a few "motorcycle-only" questions in the motorcycle theory, but you can pick these up from doing lots of free mock motorcycle tests online.

i have the car hazrad perception software from my old car lessons school just wondered if they are the same.

thanks for the replies.

It's exactly the same. And when I say 'exactly'..you can actually make out that your in a car and not on a bike!

And it's bloody annoying, I kept wanting the camera car to move around the road a lot more.

They hadn't changed the videos in the 7 year gap between me doing my car test and my bike test...

Exactly the same.

I did my bike theory and car theory about 3 or 4 months apart. Questions are different, but the HPT is exactly the same.

I do hate the HPT though - you get a rubbish and pixelated view of the road!

As said, yeah it's the same.

The clips are filmed from a car, so camera stays flat as cars don't lean round corners, also means going round roundabouts and corners you can't see anything apart from whats directly in front of the camera... in practice you'd be turning your head and looking where you're gonna be going, the camera is fixed on one spot though

Annoying, and the clips are ancient as well... think they were filmed before the hazard perception was even introduced haha

I think there would be a lot more scope for a bike-specific hazard perception test. Especially if you could move the camera view as you're going along, replicating things like looking in your mirrors and doing your shoulder checks. I think the Hazard Perc. test is crap anyway, but if they're going to do it, they may as well do it correctly.

The thing that really annoys me about them is that they're horrible quality video and you can barely see what's happening a little in front of you. I also hate the bulky monitors they've got in the test centres!

In my opinion, the HPT should be done in the presence of the examiner - and you would have to identify and describe the hazard, and explain your actions to score points.
