Hazard Perception

You can get a zero for patterned clicking. Perhaps you went click-click, click-click, click-click. 6 is certainly not too many clicks for any clip.

nope they were spaced clicks, the only thing it could have been is the video was heading to a blind junction which i clicked for then the video ended and came up with zero? dunno its all a con really

congrats on passing tone
 
I wish they would scrap this stupid hazard perception

what a waste of ****ing time!!!!!:mad:

make money off anything:(

The place I'm probably going to go to do the mod 1 and mod 2 on the same day...only thing is if you fail the mod 1 you lose the cash for mod 2 (£75)...but if it goes well you have your licence there and then

Both on the same day seems a bit stressful too. Normally if you pass one test you get to have a beer, not go and do another test straight away.

Sounds like a money-making scheme that. I'd ask them if you can schedule them 1 week apart so if you do fail the mod1 you can phone up straight away and cancel it. If they disagree ask them what their pass rate is.

I work with someone who passed with these guys and he seemed pretty happy with the whole thing. You can opt to not have the mod 2 straight after, but i think it means an additional fee as the test center is about a 40 min ride from the training ground (im not saying this is the reason, im just guessing)
 
I passed my motorcycle theory last weekend, I do think it's ridiculous that you have to do the Hazard perception again for bike, even if you've done it for the car! I can understand the questions though, there are a few different ones which are bike specific.

In my opinion you should do it prior to your CBT and it would remains valid for up to one year and/or the life of the CBT, which ever is longer (i.e. you have a year to do the cbt from getting the theory, then it lasts another 2 years).

Although also in my opinion a similar style CBT would be conducted for cars too prior to being able to have un-restricted tuition. If you want to go out with L plates and your 90 year old gran sat next to you then you need a car CBT. A mod 1 and 2 for car would be good too, it might stop morons cutting corners and general road positioning. There's also no reason why there couldn't be a similar tiered license in place for cars determined by years of experience and age.

Oh and prior to any motored vehicle you have to do a cycling proficiency test which you can get from 15 onwards and is valid for life.

All of that might just make everyone a wee bit safer and more considerate on the roads.

I think what irks me is that the hazard perception is identical to the one I did for my car theory.

Had I failed, I would have still held a full car licence, but apparently not be aware of hazards! Seems odd to me.

I would hope the fact I had a full car licence would be proof that I had hazard awareness, if not, why do they trust me to drive a car?

Perhaps recurrent testing is the key, most people can drive safe enough to get through the tests, how about for the rest of their lives?

Some other gripes about hazard perception:
- No indication of what route the car is taking (the bike 500m up the road doesn't matter if you're taking the left in 20m)
- Fixed forward view (not even any mirrors), like you are driving in a straitjacket
- Filmed on a potato (240p anyone?)
- Bad driving from the hazard perception car (some things only become hazards because of these)

well did my theory test on friday, for rhe hazard perception bit one vid got flagged which ****ed me off no end, i saw pleanty of hazards in the vid and i began cursing loudly and was told be quiet.

thought i failed but was told i passed


also did a survey test hazard perception at the end of it. instead of real footage
it was all crappy 3d pre rendered footage kinda looked like it was outa crap game from the late 90s
 
Gonna try and do mine again soon but I really think its down to the luck of the draw if I pass :o. Obviously I can tell what a hazard is but its getting the timing right to click is my problem I think

I failed all the mock hazard tests I took. Then I changed tack and clicked about 3 times about half a second apart for the developing hazards in teh actual test - and passed.
 
I passed my theory about a week ago.

I clicked as soon as I saw a hazard developing then another click straight after that too, just to be sure :)
