How can I practice for this part of the test?
There are numerous products available to buy that can help you practice for this
part of the theory test. I personally recommend the Driving Test Success products
produced by Focus Multimedia Limited. You can purchase a copy online from Amazon
by clicking here.
For those of you who may not own a PC, Focus Multimedia produce a version that is
compatible with DVD players, a DVD-compatible games console (e.g. Xbox 360/One, PS3/PS4)
or a Mac fitted with a DVD drive. Again, this can be purchased online from Amazon
by clicking here for the DVD version.

All pupils learning to drive with Freeway School of Motoring, on an ongoing basis,
will receive 3 months free online theory support provided by Driving Test Success
Anytime, courtesy of Freeway School of Motoring. I can monitor your progress as you
learn and offer support where you require help. There is no need to buy any further
apps or software as Driving Test Success Anytime is online, which means you can access
it as and when and where you like, online availability permitting. It runs on multiple
platforms so can be run on your smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), laptop
or PC.
The hazard perception test is taken immediately after the theory test and must be
successfully completed at the same time before you can apply to take the practical
test .
The test involves you watching a series of 14 video clips on a computer screen that
are computer generated driving scenes. During the playback you are required to spot
a hazard as it develops, that is one that would force you as the driver of the vehicle
to alter your speed. Within these clips thirteen contain one developing hazard and
one clip contains two.
You respond by clicking a mouse button. The earlier you see the hazard developing,
the more points you score, see it quickly and you score five points, see it too late
you score nothing. You must score at least 44 out of the 75 points available.
