The second part of your theory test. You watch 14 video clips and click when you spot a developing hazard. Here's everything you need to know.

Max Score Per Hazard
You watch 14 video clipsfilmed from a driver's perspective. Each clip contains at least one developing hazard. a situation that would cause you to take action (slow down, stop, or change direction).
13 clips have one developing hazard each. One clip has two developing hazards. That means 15 scorable hazards in total.
Click the mouse (or tap the screen) as soon as you see a hazard developing. The earlier you spot it, the higher your score. You can score up to 5 points per hazard.
The scoring window opens as the hazard begins to develop and closes when a response would be too late. This window is divided into 5 bands:
5
points
4
points
3
points
2
points
1
points
Click early in the scoring window = 5 points. Click late = 1 point. Click outside the window = 0 points.
Maximum score: 15 hazards × 5 points = 75 points.
Pass mark: 44 out of 75.
A developing hazard is something that would cause you to take action. change speed or direction.
Static hazards are things you should notice but don't require immediate action yet.
Click as soon as you see a hazard starting to develop
Scan the whole screen. not just the road ahead
Watch for clues like brake lights, indicators, and pedestrians looking to cross
Click once or twice when you spot each hazard
Be especially vigilant at junctions, crossings, and bends
Don't click continuously or in a pattern. the system detects this and scores you zero
Don't wait until the hazard is fully developed. click early for more points
Don't click on every car or pedestrian. focus on developing hazards
Consistent practice is key to mastering hazard perception. Use a combination of resources:
Practice spotting developing hazards in video clips, just like the real test.
Videos show road scenes from a driver's perspective
Click as soon as you see a developing hazard
Earlier clicks score higher (up to 5 points)
Don't click randomly!
Clicking too often in a pattern will result in zero points for that clip. Click once or twice when you spot each hazard developing.
While you prepare for hazard perception, make sure you're ready for the 50-question multiple-choice section too.
