hazard perception test

[fairydust]

i've got my theory test shortly - i have brought a cd rom to help i'm doing fine on the questions and now passing everytimes - with the hazard perception i'm only just passing - so getting 44/75 so therefore i'm missing some majour things - but i don't seem to know what -can anyone offer any tips/pointers

click when ever you see a hazard it might only say that there is 1 hazard in the video but click as soon as you see one appearing

I read a book on hazards last night...erm potential hazards were corners...slowing down for, parked cars..dorrs opening...buses...pulling away/stopping at short notice...traffic lights/be prepared to stop...school signs/children running about.
Ice cream vans/kids again...things like that.
Cant find the book even thought I had it last night will update if ive missed anything.
HTH

Have done hazard perception test twice (passed twice), thing to remember is anything which makes the vehicle change in anyway - click the mouse!
ie . braking, changing down gears, slowing for horse riders, meeting other traffic from opposite direction (especially if you need to make room), over taking bicycle, pedestrians crossing road ahead,check blind bends and hidden junctions, lorries turning, the list is endless! Good luck.

Be carefull not to over click, I did on the double points clip and got 0 for it. Luckily I did well enough on the others and still passed easily.

flutterbee is right, just imagine you are in the driving seat and think of how you are driving. Think about if you need to change direction, slow down, am I going to drive into that truck......

right so if i think i need to slow down we're do i click as obviously i can't see the car i'm surpose to be drving

On the test you will have a mouse to click (left or right button) and the road is infront of you as if you are in driving seat( same as being in the car) basically - a driving simulator. A list of red flags will show up in corner of screen each time you click mouse.

Try looking at DSA official website for more info. Sorry cant do links!

You dont have to click on the actual hazard, just click the mouse. Its more about how quickly you respond to the hazard. Click if you see something which could be a potential hazard and then again everytime it develops. I pretty much clicked throughout the test, I was worried that I was going to overclick but I passed with high marks 1st time.
Good luck with the test.

sorted it got 60 and 62 so alot happier with that
