I my theory test tomorrow, which I'm starting to dread. The actual theory part will be fine, it's just the hazard perception I need a miracle with!

So... any hints for the hazard perception test?

    It will be fine :yes: I passed that 1st time, it's the parctical you should be worried about, iv'e failed 2 times already.

    Just click as soon as you see the hazard can't really give any tips really as it's all common sense.

    Get your backside over to a mates or to smiths and get the practise disk. Practise non stop between now and your test.

    Failing that, google it and go for all the practise clips on t'interweb anywhere.

    Take your time before the test starts, do the practise clip and make sure you click hard. Click when you see something that would require you to take action while driving, if you see kids walking towards the road, something driving through a petrol station, hazard lights, a sign for road works. Then click again each time the situation develops.

    Good luck.

    Ok, thankyou, I'm aware that it is common sense, but I've been told that I have slow reactions from my driving instructor, which I've kinda known anyway :)

    oh. its ages since i passed myn. but i seem to remember you just click when you see the hazard developing - its pretty straight forward and as icey says "piss easy" ... no need to dread it really. play some computer games they're good for sharpening reactions :)

    The hazard perception part is crap.

    I had a big rant to my instructor about how stupid it was and he agreed with me. Everytime you see something that could be a potential hazard then click. And then click again when it moves / changes. The thing about the HP is that what you see as a hazard isn't what they are looking for in that question so just click every time you see a potential hazard and you should be fine.

    I have passed the practice ones but have my real one in a couple of weeks. Let us know how you get on.

    make good use of the theory disc! i used these and the actual test is about 99% the same as on the disc. If you can pass most times using the disc then you should have no problems in your exam.

    You can take the practical up tp 2 years after your theory.

    EDIT: Well of course you can, but the first attempt being so long after the theory sounds strange...

    I don't think you can book your practical without having first passed your theory (correct me if i'm wrong ... ) and there is normally at least a 3 week wait between booking and actually taking the test. But then again, that depends on the area.

    3 weeks, wow. The laws must be a bit different here, because I had my theory and frst practical on the same day (like many others).

    Nah, you can't do that here.

    What happens if you fail your theory then?

    You probably just don't go for the practical.
