How to use the hazard perception test?

This page shows how to use our hazard perception test.

  • Start the test by clicking the "start" -button. A video starts to play.
  • Click the "Hazard!" -button when you see a developing hazard in the video.
    • (Actual test does not have a hazard button, you just need to click on the video)
  • Do not click too many times or the system will stop recording the clicks.

When you click the "Hazard!" -button, a marker appears at the point where you clicked:

 

This is the solution display. The user has clicked twice (see 2 orange markers). 


The green bar displays the time frame when the hazard appeared in the video. So this time, the user clicked way too early. 
(Numbers inside the green bar show the scoring. ) 

 

This is the solution display of a single hazard clip. The user has clicked at the correct moment and got a full score. Solution screen does not reveal the actual hazard, however, it shows whether you click too early or too late.


The User has clicked at the correct moment and got full points.

Practise using our hazard perception test and you'll pass the actual test more likely. Compared to the free tests, we have the DVSA-made CGI videos and multiple-choice questions.

There are lots of different types of hazards that you might encounter on the roads. The Hazard Perception Test covers a wide range of types of hazard. The type of hazard depends on the driving situation.

Some general hazards

  • Traffic signs that might relate to a hazard ahead
  • Bad road conditions, visibility or weather
  • Emergency vehicles that might drive unpredictably
  • Vehicles changing lanes, particularly in response to other hazards
  • Pedestrians exiting vehicles, crossing the road

Common rural hazards include

  • Narrow roads. (may only be wide enough for one vehicle)
  • Slow moving vehicles
  • Sharp turns, blind or unmarked junctions
  • Hazards on the road itself, such as hay, mud, manure, silage.

Common motorway hazards

  • Vehicles breaking down, entering or leaving the hard shoulder
  • Vehicles slowing down to leave the motorway
  • Vehicles changing lanes in response to slow-moving vehicles
  • Road works

Pass mark in the hazard perception test is 44 points out of 75.

Hazard perception test contains 14 video clips of approximately 1 minute each. The videos will not contain any sound. Each clip contains 1 developing hazard, but one clip will have 2 hazards. You need to react as quickly as possible to potential hazards as they appear.

  • I passed first time with top marks in both theory and hazard perception! This site was the best around - clear and easy to use. It meant I was able to approach the test with confidence. Thanks for a great product!

    Vicky - 06/06/2019

  • I passed my Theory test first time yesterday using this site. In hindsight, i couldn't have passed without it.

    Tina - 08/02/2017

  • I passed today after revising for three days on this website! The exact same questions that came up on this website came up on the actual test. All in all, this tool is certainly invaluable. Highly recommended!

  • A week long bout of revision here led to the successful completion of the actual motorcycle theory test in Ilford today. A great resource that proved invaluable in achieving 48/50 on the theory part and 69/75 on the hazard perception. (28/06/2016)
