Hazard perception test

[rac bolton]

Right i'm due to take my theory test on 2nd dec, I think i will be fine with the questions bit n know my weak areas so am reading up on them.

other than the clip i have watched on the net no idea of this works, Didn't have it when i learn't to drive. what are you experiences of this as the cip was about 15 secs long. is it a series of these or what ? . any help would be well received thanks.

First weak area;

Spelling.

Sorry, but i really don't feel the motivation to help you :/

EDIT;

Fine, i'll give my two pennies worth;

The hazard perception section of the theory test is a series of 14 shot clips, ranging of different lengths, all including one major hazard, and one clip includes two major hazards.

Simply click every time you see a possible hazard (for example, you see a car in the distance pulling out), and click every time that hazard becomes worse. For example;

You see a car in the distance coming to a junction, to join your road. You see him stop, look, and then pull out anyway.

You click when you see him coming to the junction. You click when he pulls out. You click when the hazard forces you to stop, change direction e.t.c.

Basically, you click whenever you see something that may force you to change direction.

When you do the test, there will be an instructional video showing you how to complete the test.

Good luck.

Go buy a CD from a bike training centre, they will only stock the useful ones - avoid the 'official' guide.

I found the CD very useful, it gives you an idea how to do the test.

Vicki has some CD-ROMs in the TMBF library. You can rent them rather than buy a copy!

Good Luck

That wasn't very nice about the spelling comments! Naughty bad man.

I agree with what's been said about practising with some 'proper' clips on a DVD. What stedan said about borrowing off Vicki is a good idea. Or if you can't wait or feel like you want your own DVD then Halfords have a section on the motorcycle tests (nestled with the cars last time I looked!). I've still got my DVD and have lent it out to a few mates whilst doing their tests. I sometimes put it on if I'm ever so bored!

I think people get worried about the hazard perception more than they need to. It's really quite simple but is usually explained in such a way that it sounds complicated. If you've been driving for a while then you'll already be aware (hopefully!) of what a hazard is, you just need to apply that to the video clips.

Good luck with it and keep us all posted with how you get on

As long as you leave a tiny gap between clicks (1 sec) you should be ok i did it the other week nothing to get worried about.Good look m8

[Susieque]

Yeah apparently you have to be a bit careful about clicking too much because that can cause a no score! I was very wary of that when i did mine!

[Guest]

Trust me its worth getting the DVD

[rac bolton]

Well done

I already posted on another thread about my theory,failed yesterday,can't get the hang of the clicking bit hazards perception,too slow or too fast,got 2 cheats,put back in next week its not gona beat me.

Did you have a case scenario, mine was about pizza delivery in the dark,but as I already posted, the Questions opposite that seemed totally unrelated i.e "If you droped your helmet & it was scratched & damaged , what would you do?" followed by usual multiple choice, can't see the point.

yer i the case scenario bit on mine as well it was something to do with traveling in traffic near a school again with multiple choice answers. pratice test on the net were really good and a lot of the questions i had seen n knew the answers right off. you can also pratice hazard perception on the net as well. one site has a full 14 clips. this will help in the when n how to click as you can look back at these and it will show where you should of been clicking. i'll look for the site for you.

Best of luck for next time
