We recommend you to practise hazard perception clips as many times as necessary to get a perfect understanding of how hazard perception test works and how to get full points in every clip.

Before the test starts you will get the instructions and will have an opportunity to complete some practice questions. Some questions will be given in a case study form - you will see short video about some real life situation when driving and answer 3 follow up questions. If you are uncertain about some of your answers during the test, you can flag the question and come back to it later. It is also possible to review and change your answer to any question at any point. When you have completed multiple choice part, you can have a break of up to 3 minutes.
