Hazard Perception
The hazard perception test is taken immediately after the theory test and must be successfully completed at the same time before you can apply to take the practical test .
The test involves you watching a series of 14 video clips on a computer screen that are of actual driving scenes. During the playback you are required to spot a hazard as it develops, that is one that would force you as the driver of the vehicle to alter your speed. Within these clips thirteen contain one developing hazard and one clip contains two.
