Hazard Perception Test To Determine A Learner?s Driving Skills.

A beginner driver have to go through both parts of the theory test. The test consists of two section, the first is  multiple choice driving rules based test and the second is the Hazard Perception Test.

The hazard perception test is an electronic test which is taken on computer to determine the driving skill of a beginner driver.  Video clips are shown in the test which consist of hazards which usually one faces while driving on the road, each clip contain one or more developing hazards. With a little understanding and good preparation you can easily pass the test in your very first attempt.  
Firstly to pass the test , you need to understand how the test works . As to some extent when a hazard develops from a potential hazard to an real hazard , then there is a possibility that you may sometimes click quite before the scoring window . Thus it is advisable to click the instant you see hazard . As long as you don't make too many clicks it is okay . In fact , the earliest click you are making during the scoring window is the one that matters , so if you clicked when you score three points and again when you would score one , the score of three is taken .

However , you should not make so many clicks during any one click - if so then your score for that clip will be zero and you will proceed onto the next one . This makes sense as it stops a person just constantly clicking the mouse with little consciousness or knowledge about where the hazards are .


So we must develop a method of safeguarding against being better than the computer , and this is precisely how it's done :
• Handle it exactly like a real drive , examine the road well ahead and to each side , pay close attention not just to other vehicles but also to pedestrians and locations the view ahead is constrained .
• Look forward to what may take place and prepare yourself for it , when approaching parked vehicles prepare for doors opening up or signs of movement .
• Click the mouse at the point of any motion in a real drive , if you needs to check the mirrors , handle the footbrake or actually begin to brake , each one of these points justify a mouse click . It will ensure you don't click too early and score zero .
At last bear in mind it is only a brief outline of how to tackle the Hazard Perception Test , it can help yet this alone won't enable you to get through , do more studies and practice just as much as you can .
