So sicne i did my motorbike test 4 years ago (done my car one today) they seem to have changed from actual video recordings to these computer generated cgi ones for the hazard perception test.
Aside from being a bit blurry when there was motion i couldnt help but notice the "driver" of the car youre meant to be is absolutely horrific to the point of dangerous in some clips.
It's hilarious.
In one its on a motorway and youre in the outside lane (no traffic in the inmer two lanes next to you so yourr already in the wrong lane)
The car in front indicates left, a car in the inside lane indicates right they both move into the same lane swerve appart. Then it carries on for a bit amd them and all the other traffic moves off and your guy is still in the outside lane of a completely empty motorway.
(If hed have been in the correct lane he'd have never had a hazard to percive lol)
Another a school bus stops on the left traffic is comming out from the right an you can see kids starting to move arpund the front of the bus but the feet underneath.
In the old vids the car would have stoped well bqck and waited, mr cgi pulls right up and out along the bus before getting blocked by the oncoming car and kids.
(This seems to be a trend to the videos of pulling out on oncoming traffic)
This seems insane that for tge test your guy is just not driving correctly.
Staff also got so confused i had a full motorcycle license and wanted to sit my car test they had to phone the dvla to see if they could accept my license.
I said dont you get people with full csr licenses wanting to do thier bike test, they said yes but never th eorher way around.
They seemed ubder the impression i should still have a provisional license despite the 1100cc motorbike parked in plain view by the front window pol
