How is the hazard perception test conducted?
The hazard perception element of the test consists of 14 video clips which are shown on a computer screen and feature everyday driving scenarios. They are filmed in a vehicle and it is as if you are in the driving seat. Thirteen of the clips feature a single developing hazard, but one of the clips has 2 developing hazards. When you spot a developing hazard you should respond by clicking the mouse (you do not have to click on the hazard). You are marked according to how quickly you respond. In other words, the quicker you click on the mouse the more points you will get (a maximum of 5). However, be careful. You will score nil points if you cheat by repeatedly clicking on the mouse.
You will only be shown each clip once. You will not be able to review a clip again. Once you have completed both elements of the test you may leave the examination room.
