After you've done the multiple-choice part of the test, you can take a break of up to three minutes and then the hazard perception section of the test will begin automatically. You'll be shown a tutorial video first featuring sample footage with a commentary sound track that explains how to complete the test. You'll be given the opportunity to watch the tutorial a second time if you need to.
The test itself is comprised of 14 one minute long video clips. The clips feature various types of hazard, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You have to presume that you are the driver of a car as these clips are played out. You need to respond to each different scenario by clicking your mouse as soon as you see a hazard developing that could result in having to take some evasive action, like changing speed or direction. The earlier you spot the hazard and click the mouse, the higher your score. |
