Anywhere I can practice for the hazard perception test online?

I've googled but I can't find anything useful. I already joined the DSA website to practice theory but it doesn't offer hazard perception. Anyone know any websites, need them kinda asap!!

I did my theory a couple of months ago and managed to fine some. They do exist, but I've lost the URLs - Sorry!

Just keep hunting. I think the sites I ended up using most were companies that sold DVDs and such, but which gave you free 'sample' tests online. Find enough samples and you've got all the practise you need

I found one eventually, cost me 7 quid but should be enough to make me pass, heading back to BSM centre too in the morning to practice in more realistic conditions aswell. Hopefully that should be enough.

The practical was way to easy and the perception test was alright considering I didn't do much for it in the way that it's set out in the real test. In and out of there in half an hour, rather chuffed. Practicals' probably gona be in a couple of months.

Well done

Congrats!!

Can I just ask when exactly you clicked, did you click multiple times for the hazard as it got worse and also click when you just saw pedestrians or any hazards? Im currently using the CD and its cheating me, even if I click the hazard before, just before, on it and after it I still tend to get 0 :confused:

Thanks

Can I just ask you, with hazard perception did you click everytime you see anytime of hazard. The CD is cheating me Did you click multiple times each time the hazard got worse so you know you got points?

Thanks

See that's the thing and the reason why I had a lengthy discussion with the test guy. All the hazard perception tests that you get off the net or on a CD or do in a driving centre are different to the actual one. The real test, you have to click every time you see a potential hazard, could be a pedestrian on a side road or a car emerging. One of these potential hazards develop, ie causing you to brake or change direction, it's this hazard which you click again(basically when you react in real life and put the brake on). Hope that helps.

Thanks Manoz, yep that has helped

How many clicks do you get per video, I know on my CD i get about 25

Update: Just had another go and I cant get 5 points on any. Even when I know its coming, I think im just stupid. I dont know what they want me to do? I can see it way before it happens, so I click. It then gets worse so I click again and when its happening I click again. "Score: 3" or "Youve Missed It".

Larnica will not be amused if he fails Hazard Perception.

I was clicking about 3 to 7 per video, it really wasn't as bad as I thought, I'm sure you'll do fine. I wasn't getting hardly any of the ones I did in the BSM centre either. I only scored 5 on 1 video on the real test, most of them were 4s. Pass mark is 44 out of 75.
