Arwen Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Don't be click happy. The technique I used was click once when I saw a possible hazard, then click again when it escalates. If you click too many times it gives you 0. There are a few websites that let you practise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristonbiker Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 was doing some searching and is it right that it is cgi now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oasis Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 was doing some searching and is it right that it is cgi now?Yeah it's Computer generated but not intelligent. Which means it can't do random things. It's a very realistic computer animation, only the pedestrians let the whole thing down as far as graphics go.I did mine not so long ago and you do get a practice session before you start. It's really not very hard at all and just takes common sense. Just don't let nervous get in your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yup, all CG now. Try not to laugh Male pedestrians walk with a swagger and females walk like they are balancing books on their head.The sheep and cows are rather cute though It is essentially the exact same now as it was before however. Practicing with real video version will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Old style vid clips here: http://www.theory-test-online.co.uk/free-hazard-perception-test-demo.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;But the mechanics are the same - as Arwen said, click once when you first see the hazard (eg a fast car coming down a side road) then click again as it develops (the car is not slowing down and is now close to the main road) and then as the hazard actually "happens" (car wildly pulls out in front of you)I failed the first time for not clicking enough because if you click when you spot the hazard but the computer doesn't think you should have spotted it yet you will get nil points. So a couple of extra clicks will guarantee you some points. Don't click in a rhythm and try not to panic click. If you do overclick on a video it's not the end of the world as there are enough videos to mean you can lose one.Good luck keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 CGI?! Gaw now I feel old.. Will have to check out some clips of that! But agree with others, find an online site or two to try on and just take a deep breath.. You'll be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristonbiker Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Just done a practice it gave me 2 red crosses but I still got a pass with 49 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agree with others, find an online site or two to try on and just take a deep breath.. You'll be ok Don't feel old. It's only in the past year or so it has changed to CG. The examiner gave me a "control yourself!" Look when I had to stifle my giggling when I first saw it. No one warned me it was different to when I done my car one Good work Riston! Keep calm and you'll be fine i'am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 When I did my car test didn't even have the hazard awareness bit. That's how old I am. Quick someone chime in with how they didn't even have a theory bit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
