Every year over 3,500 people are killed on our roads.
Young drivers make up only a small percentage of the driving population but are
involved in up to one in seven accidents causing injury. The government believes
that introducing the Hazard Perception test could dramatically reduce
these figures.
A more experienced
driver is much more likely to anticipate hazards than a newly qualified one, in
fact it often takes up to two seconds longer for a new driver to recognise a
hazardous situation. Currently, many driving test candidates demonstrate poor
scanning and anticipation skills, which are vitally important requirements for
safe driving.
Introducing a test
which monitors these specific areas more closely should ensure that driver
training is even more effective in producing
safe drivers.
|
| How the test will be taken? |
|
The hazard perception test element forms part of the screen based
driving theory test and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Failure to
pass either the multiple-choice section or the hazard perception test will
result in failure of the whole test.
It is hoped that by taking
the hazard perception test element at the same time as the multiple choice
element, candidates will be able to relate the skills they develop whilst
preparing for the test to the practical experience gained during their driving
lessons and practice.
|
| How the test will work? |
At the beginning of the hazard perception test candidates
are shown a brief instruction video. The video shows how the hazard perception
test works. There is an option to watch the video twice if needed. Headphones
are worn for the instruction video but can be removed for the actual test as
there is no sound on the video clips.
|
|
 In the test itself, candidates are shown a number of 1 minute video
clips filmed from a car. Each clip contains one or more developing hazards. Each
candidate is tested on 14 film clips chosen at random from a series of
two hundred.
Candidates are asked
to indicate (by clicking the mouse) as soon as they see a hazard developing
which may need the driver to take appropriate action e.g. changing speed or
changing direction.
|
|
Candidates are marked on their timed responses - the
sooner a response is made, the higher the score. The only hazards candidates will be scored on are the
developing ones. Candidates will not lose points for responding to other
hazards.
|
| Training available |
Driving instructors are able to teach their pupils all of
the skills and techniques required to pass the hazard perception test. They may
also have various training aids which pupils may use or borrow. Talk to your
driving instructor about the options available before taking
the test.
|
| When will I get
the results? |
You will be
given your results to the hazard perception test and the multiple choice driving
theory test before you leave the test centre. REMEMBER - You need to have passed
BOTH TESTS on the same day to receive your theory pass
certificate.
Your results will include feedback about any topic
areas in which you answered questions and
hazards incorrectly. |
If you are already
having driving lessons, your instructor will be able to provide mock driving
theory test papers. If you are not, it would make sense to buy a book or this
excellent double CD containing sample questions and answers. If your budget
allows you can buy The Official Theory Test for Cars and Motorcycles
published by The Driving Standards Agency. This book contains all the official
questions with answers. We would advise the purchase of this double CD it gives great test results.
|
You will find
learning about driving theory and hazard perception much easier if you wait
until you actually start your practical driving lessons. However, if you expect
your driving instructor to help you learn driving theory as well as practice,
then you need to find out just what sort of help he or she can provide before
you book any lessons. Driving Theory test training is not a requirement for
driving schools and you should not assume that all driving instructors can
provide the training you may need. Many instructors will simply advise you to
read up the theory on your own; some may ask you theory questions from time to
time during your practical lessons; others may give you mock driving theory test
papers to try on your own; others may have no desire or ability to provide any
help with the theory whatsoever.

NOT ALL
DRIVING
SCHOOLS
OFFER
STRUCTURED
THEORY
TRAINING.
WE ARE ONE THAT DOES!
|
|
A growing number of
driving schools are able to provide fully structured theory training - which
means they will teach you everything you need to know to pass the theory test.
Such training may be carried out in the car, or at the driving school's office,
on a one-to-one or classroom basis. Many driving schools now offer computer
based theory training; this is a highly effective method of learning the theory
and is also far more enjoyable for most pupils. Buy the CD and you can do your
training on your own computer. Whatever form the theory training takes,
obviously you will have to pay for it. However, theory training often costs much
less than practical training - so ask what's on offer and shop around until you
find a driving school that can provide what you want.
Learning about the
Hazard Perception test is something that all driving instructors should help you
with. During your practical lessons a good instructor will constantly remind you
to scan the scene in front and around you, and will point out potential hazards
that you should observe as you drive. It is worth knowing that some driving
schools have equipped their cars with state-of-the-art video training systems.
These have a small camera in the front of the car which takes a video of your
entire driving lesson. This enables the instructor to later play back and review
any part of your lesson and to point out any mistakes or hazardous situations
that you encountered. |
Theory Test
The Theory Test is now made up of two parts
The first part consists of 35 multiple choice
questions. You need to answer at least 30 questions correctly to pass the first
part, then after a 3 minute break the Hazard Perception part will
begin.
This part consists of fourteen 1 minute video clips featuring
different types of hazards, including pedestrians, other vehicles and road
conditions. As soon as you see a hazard developing that may cause you to change
direction or alter your speed you should react by pressing the mouse button. The
earlier you respond, the more points you will receive. The test has 15 assessable
hazards with a maximum of 5 points for each hazard. The pass mark is 44 points
out of a possible 75.
You will need to pass both parts of the test at the same time
to pass your theory test. |
