i got the training DVD for my other half who'se learning to drive. I passed back in 2000 so didnt have to do it. When i took it for the first time, i was clicking on perceived hazards but getting no marks because it thought they werent a hazard yet
I cant remember exactly what, as having taken my test already it wasnt serious for me.
But im sure i recall seeing a bus in a bus stop up ahead and pressing it as a hazard. When playing it back, the window for scoring points didnt start till you got closer, so allthough id clicked on the right hazard (the bus), and hadnt clicked on it randomly, because id clicked on it too early in its oppininon, i got no points for that hazard.
i see what you're saying, its best to click more than once to ensure you get it
but i was pointing out the benefit of the DVDs, teaching you at what point they expect you to click. Because i usualy found you had to wait till you got reasonbly close before it let you score.

Ah Yes, clicking just once before it's point scoring window will be a zero, just that a lot of people get paranoid about the very big warnings they have telling you to not click too many times or you get zero'd for cheating.
first time I did it I was paranoid about it and failed - spoke to someone and next time clicked whenever I felt like it - score 100%. I think the cheating thing only kicks in if your blatantly just clicking every few seconds 'just incase' through the whole clip.

When you think there is a hazard, click 3 times, with about a half second gap.
If you click it just before the hazard, you get 0. If you click just after, you get 4,3,2,1 depending on how long after.
If you click 3 times, then even if you have clicked too early, you should hit the time marker.
PS I got 75 and didn't get a single one under 3.

I did mine in March/May last year as part of my motorcycle theory, and if memory serves, you need to click when you see a hazard, then there are a number of 'developing' hazards, where you need to click several times - when you see, when it changes and when you need to take action.
My DAS instructor told me that the best way to pass that part of theory is whenever something moves, click, count two seconds then click again - but I think that was for the general hazards, not the developing ones.
Scort.

Well rebooked my test agian, this time its at 8.30am in a few weeks time. Really got annoyed at failing it first time. Just have to go through the dvd a load of times again and hopefully get it second time.
Just remember you need at least 3points per clip.
I always clicked twice, just to make sure i got a click inside the 5 second point window. Click twice with a 2 second gap at everything you think is a hazzard.
So lets say you see a hazzard and click just before the 5 second points window comes up, if you do your second click 2 seconds later you will score 3 points which is what you need.
Two clicks 2 seconds apart for every hazzard you see, i cant see how you can fail that way unless you completley miss the hazzard.
Did my hazard perception a few weeks ago. Done what the guys said, clicked every time I saw a potential hazard, when it became a hazard, when I'd have to do something (slow down etc).
Most clips I clicked at least 5-10times. And passed with flying colours. Focus media DTS dvd is brilliant (what I used). Just keep practising you'll get it soon enough

The DSA have some very odd ideas about what hazards are anyway. Although some (most?) of the tests were taken from random drives a few were set up. The choice of some of the hazards they included in these set-ups baffled me. (When I saw test specimens I spent most of my time picking out unlawful signs and dodgy road layouts on their examples which didn't go down to well)
I remember my instructer saying all the clips in the theory test were set ups, so easier to notice. Not sure how true that is but some of them were obviously set ups when i took mine.
