On thePractice videos, and presumably in the actual test, it appears that you areallowed 10 clicks per hazard after which you are disqualified and score 0%.Confusingly the number of clicks allowed is not explained to users. This conflicts with the instructions in the ‘About the hazard test’section where it says that the earlier you spot a hazard the higher yourscore.So the natural reaction of people who have practiced using the video isto click several times to try to ensure that their clicking overlaps the pointwhen the writers think you should start to click.īut if you click too much you get disqualified and score 0%. So, if you clickedonly once on each hazard you could have spotted every hazard and score 0% ! If you click before this point,notwithstanding that the hazard is visible, you score 0%. You get the maximum score by clicking on a Hazard as early as thepeople who wrote this test think you should. Using the Practise part of the DVSAHazard Perception video where you can see your score on individual hazards tells you the following things: I completely agree with the opinions expressed on this web page thatthe Hazard Perception test needs revising.

The fact that most modern drivers would fail the theory test badly today just goes to show how it's not really serving it's purpose. Maybe replaced with a road sign test, since knowing each road sign is far more important to knowing where the catalytic converter is.
I think the theory test as a whole needs to be revamped. The clips in the actual tests are also really out of date, and should be updated.

The camera angle is also unrealistic to what a real driver would see since the camera is mounted on top of the car/van. They expect you to see hazards which aren't even there which is really unfair.
#HAZARD PERCEPTION TEST PRACTICE HOW TO#
I spot hazards easily when I drive (as do many experienced drivers who have failed the HP test) - I don't need a test lacking validity to tell me I'm not safe enough.Įdit: Passed second time with 65/75 but I still think the test is flawed as all you're doing is learning how to do the test, not learning how to spot hazards. Either way, they need to sort out this broken test. In 2013 the DVLA announced that they would implement an animated Hazard Perception Test (in 2013) but that has yet to happen.
I could go on forever but I'd leave it at that. It is often due to them again clicking too early. This alone is proof it doesn't always represent a good and safe driver. Around 50% of existing driving instructors (who have been on the roads for years and safely passed tests) fail the Hazard Perception. I guess that makes me unsafe to be on the roads. An example of this is when I clicked when I saw a bike rider in the distance, I got no points as I had to click when i was about 1 meter closer to the rider. When clearly the hazard already was in view before the scoring system came up. I've recently been practicing on the official DVD and my clicks are always registering a tiny amount before the 5 points so I end up with nothing. What is classed as a hazard? The test is simply too ambiguous - shall I click for the wet road conditions? the person on the side of the road? There's simply too many things a driver should take into account.
"You failed because you didn't see that 8-bit pixelated bike!" It is in appalling quality which is in no way representative to how you would see things in an actual car (with more clarity and a wider field of view). The Hazard Perception is complete bull - I'm not just saying that because I failed let's look at the facts: This is just a rant towards the faulty system they have in place. I got 50/50 on the questions but failed the Hazard Perception portion of the test by a few points. So I recently failed my Theory Test a few weeks ago but I've booked it for tomorrow.
