Hazard Perception Theory

LewisStuart · 21 Aug 2007 at 22:00

I'm doing my LGV theory in a about a week, on the hazard perception bit where you click for hazards, what exactly have I to click at? minor hazards as well as major? any techniques?

I'm ok with the multiple choice bit.

the car ones obvious, Click any time you see a hazard. you only score for hazards which cause you to slow down/change direction (Parked cars, balls being kicked on a street etc)

As iBot says...they're pretty major normally...like if there's a bus in a bus stop up the road...chances are it'll pull out just before the camera gets to it. Or if it's a dual carriageway or motorway clip...probably 90% of the time it'll be a vehicle changing lanes without indicating...those sorts of things...the key is to practice and get used to only clicking the major ones so as to not get accused of cheating (clicking too frequently).

Hope that helps

Good Luck!

You can click more than once.

Click for anything that may be a hazard but just don't click with a regular pattern and you will be fine.
