Hazard Perception Test

Hazard perception test introduction
Hazard perception test forms a second section of the theory test and must be passed at the same time.

Integrating theoretical hazard perception test training into the practical training sessions will ensure that as competence is achieved in each of the necessary skills, they can be strengthened and applied while you are on the road to increase the road safety benefits.

This part of the theory test requires you to view 14 hazard video clips on the computer screen of approximately one minute each. You are required to watch these clips as if you were the driver. There will be 15 hazard to find - at least one on each clip. However, one clip will have 2 hazard. The hazard perception test clips will not contain any sound.
The clips feature various types of hazard, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing hazard is spotted, and a response made, the higher the score.

Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15 score able hazard.
You click either the left or right mouse button whenever you think you can see a hazard developing. The speed at which you click the mouse button as a hazard develops will determine your score for that particular hazard perception clips. You can score between 0 and 5 on each hazard.
The pass mark for this part of the test is 44 out of 75 (i.e. 15 hazard x 5) for car drivers and motorcycle riders.
Those taking LGV or PCV (lorry or bus) tests must score at least 50 out of 75.

does anyone else think the driver was going way to fast when approaching the roundabout

Hang on a moment, did the driver stop so he blocked the turning onto another road? 0:27

This could be a test of spot the majors the driver would fail for instead of a Hazard Perception or even more accurate, "How not to drive." The driver went over a round about. Okay some small roundabouts do get ignored for being in a place that it should just be a junction or crossroad because thay are useless but they shouldn't do it in a DVLA video aimed at people learning to drive, like saying, "Look its okay to drive over a roundabout."

Plus there was blocking a junction which was mentioned
