Hazard Perception Test Free Clips

The government is committed to reducing the numbers killed and seriously injured on Britain's roads

by 40 per cent by 2010. The hazard perception element was introduced into the driving test in

November 2002 as one of the measures that should help achieve this target by encouraging appropriate

training in scanning the road, recognising at the first opportunity from the clues that a

potentially dangerous situation might arise and adopting a driving plan to reduce the risk.

During the development of this test, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) worked closely with

colleagues from the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) and the road safety division of the

Department for Transport, both of whom thought this test suitable for testing the hazard awareness

skills of all drivers.

How the test works

The hazard perception part is delivered on a computer and you respond by clicking a button on the

mouse. You will be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes, in

each clip there will be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two

developing hazards.

To achieve a high score you will need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of

its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five.

Recognition of available clues and perception of danger are skills that are necessary in all drivers

and riders, irrespective of the vehicle used. For this reason, the same version of the hazard

perception test is used for all categories of test.

An example of when to respond

As an example, of how to identify and respond to a developing hazard, consider a parked vehicle on

the side of the road. When you first see it, it is not doing anything; it is just a parked vehicle.

If you were to respond to the vehicle at this point, you would not score any marks, but you would

not lose any marks.

However, when you get closer to the vehicle, you notice that the car's right hand indicator starts

to flash. The indicator would lead you to believe that the driver of the vehicle has an intention of

moving away, therefore the hazard is now developing and a response at this point would score marks.

The indicator coming on is a sign that the parked vehicle has changed its status from a potential

hazard into a developing hazard.

Pedestrians, junctions, cars indicating, traffic lights changing, cars pulling out, all hazards.. It's really not that complicated.
