OhJay Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Been told I'm getting close enough to test consideration that I need to get my theory done and out the way so that when I'm ready I can just go rather than waste time and money having unnecessary lessons. So, theory's booked! 16th August in Reading.eep Been practicing the multiple choice bits and passing consistently, I think partly because I did it for my driving test so know what to expect and mostly because 90% of the questions are so ****ing obvious Struggling with the hazard perception bits though. I understand what they want but it seems like you need to click the instant the thing that causes the hazard turns up but you don't know which one of the things wandering around is going to cause the hazard and you don't want to click on everything 'coz then you get failed for clicking too much.Are they expecting you to be psychic or what?Have ordered a practice DVD off Amazon. Didn't get the DSA's own as it didn't look to have many clips and doesn't explain why you scored what you did, just tells you what you scored which I didn't think would help.

Bogof Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Are they expecting you to be psychic or what? No. they are expecting you to click on a DEVELOPING hazard.Example - Woman standing at side of road with pushchair waiting to cross is a POTENTIAL hazard, do not click.Woman starts to move towards pavement and pushes pushchair off the edge is a DEVELOPING hazard, click.Use online tests to refine your method. Some people find 2 or 3 clicks in succession is beneficial, others find that clicking when the hazard woudl cause you to do something (brake, steer, shout abuse) is the right way.Don't forget that one clip is a double developing hazard, so will require two scoring clicks.Final tip - Do not relax after the sheep!

Lumor_uk Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 well it's scored by how close you are to the developing hazard, example being 5 points for exact right moment, 3 for few ms off, 1 point for way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
