Think there's say 14 clips at 2 mins in length each, idea is that you are the rider of the bike and you have to look out for hazards that would make you react to avoid an incident. So its testing your observation skills.

Basically every time you can see something that could be a hazard, you have to click your mouse, earlier the better obviously as it gains you more points. Think there's a varied amount of hazards per clip but it does not matter if you miss some.

So say you are going down a road and you see some kids kicking a ball around, all of a sudden the ball is rolling onto the road and you see the kid start to run toward it, you have to click your mouse so the system knows you have acknowledged a potential road kill.

Ah right, I didn't realise you gained more points for having a better reaction time, seems fairly obvious now Embarassed.

One more thing, you can't 'over-click' can you?

Nah, if you click too much it will know you are trying to 'cheat' probably is some kind of limit of how many clicks can be registered.

Basically its best to play safe, I found that clicking too early sometimes was a bad thing as it would not register. Found this out by doing some online practice ones.

Best thing to do is wait for the hazard, wait till it becomes obvious then click, aiming to get 3-4 points per hazard.

If you go all out for 5 points on each hazard you will be clicking too early/much and therefore missing out on points.

5 points = quickest reaction
1 point = slowest reaction

Theory is a doddle. The hazzard part can be a bit of a lottery - plenty of advanced drivers/riders and instructors failed it when it was tested prior to its introduction. As long as you treat it like a game rather than real life, you'll be OK. I scraped through after being disqualified (scoring 0 points) on several clips.
