@@abdurrahmansidat5814 The lads walking across the road were a potential hazard, but they didn't force us to do anything - so they weren't a 'developing hazard' that would score any points.
Thanks,but i didnt understand it all its confusing i failed my theory test two days ago, when you click first its wrong,then when you keep watching the video the question disappear thats a zero, watching from dubai
I completed my theory test on Thursday. For anyone unsure of the hazard part, the videos are all cgi, good picture quality and move at a nice pace so you have time to look around the screen for Hazards. I found that when clicking 2 times in a row , about 1 second part when identified a hazard enables me to get the most marks. If you’re unsure what to click for , click on things such as parked cars which may move off / open doors, narrow streets, people indicating and keep an eye on road signs, especially on the motorway videos
I think watching this before my test did helped. Watched it a couple of times, then practised some on websites before passing my theory yesterday. Next it the practical.
I don’t understand it though. In one do the practice videos the car was obstructing the road, how can you react so quick to it when you can barely see it? I feel like you have to click extremely early it’s a bit unrealistic
If you're watching on a small screen then it will be much harder, as everything is tiny. To make it more realistic, use as large a screen as possible. These are only our clips for practice - the computer generated clips the DVSA use are a little clearer possibly.
In that case you're supposed to click 5 seconds before the car needs to start slowing down. In the clip with a bus there is a 3 seconds delay. During that 5 seconds I'd rather look out for people trying to walk between the cars than concern myself about the car that may be gone long before I get there. I understand the definition of "anything that can make you slow down or react" but 5 seconds at very low speed is too early. The clip with pedestrian crossing is similar in that you're expected to click when the person started walking on the road far in front of you rather than when a different person approaches the crossing as you slow down - that person could see you slowing and enter the road right in front of the car (that they expect is stopping).
The Hazard Perception test is just part of the Theory Test, not the actual Driving Test. The idea is that the skills used here will be useful when actually driving on the road - after all the quicker we can spot a hazard the longer we have to deal with it safely.
This one is very good. I am from Romania and my Instructor always told me to focus on pedestrians and spot hazards on the road before something horrible happens. Laugh or not but on the first hours of driving he told me : "You drive like a fucking russian ". Now that I look back is funny XD. I took it without problems tanks to that man. Very good Driving Instructor. God bless him.
This kind of test has just been added here in Belgium, thank you for uploading some examples! It won't be exactly the same (we have a multiple choice, apparently, and only 3 videos if my info is correct), but it makes me feel better seeing that I could detect hazards quickly enough.
I will be doing my HGV in a few weeks and have to do this. When I passed my driving test I didnt have to do hazard perception, just a basic theory. Been driving 20 years now and the only thing that makes me nervous about doing my HGV test is this. Ive never had an accident nor had a point on my license, yet judging by this video my hazard perception is terrible. My theories are in about a fortnight so as soon as my practise material turns up I can see some serious revision going on. Thanks for the video, made me realise how completely unprepared I am :-)
Don't worry too much - as the clips they use on the official test are computer generated, and in our opinion the hazards are a lot easier to spot than on real video clips - especially when viewed on a small screen like a phone. As long as you can spot hazards in real life then you'll be fine on the test!
I can pass multiple choice easy with reading up on it as what I learnt from riding my bike alone and here as the hazard perception I got to train to pass the test so just be practical left
I haven't even started my driving lessons 2 months early ....I'm already learning how to drive plus theory , hazard test and practical test I already having a dreams about it
Thanks for your videos. It helps me a lot and I passed my driving in the first time. I watched all your videos and even comments that I picked it up for myself some important tips and my husband was my instructor so your knowledge was very helpful to me. Thanks again.
Ikr! Like sometimes if you spot it early then you get no points as well as the other way around, as well as that if you wait for it to develop you get no points as well as the other way around!
One thing I always react to is how is not the blind spots behind parked cars not considered a hazard? Like in clip 3: We travel at 22mph, thats 9.8m/s. If we react fast, thats one second. That means any car door or child running out behind a parked car 10m in front of us is going to get hit. Its beyond human capability to stop for them. And from that speed a braking distance is at minimum 5 meters. Meaning if everything is ideal: Everything 15 meters ahead is going to get hit. Thats roughly three car length! And in reality that can be much further if we even get slightly distracted. This boggles my mind.
Have my theory test thought I'd watch your videos to help me a bit get a better idea as I could be doing a lot better in the mock test app I'm getting on mock test but I think I could be doing better as it's only few points I'm passing by lol
Many Police & Institute of Advanced motorists (IAM) (& indeed just ordinary drivers with a good few years under their belts) do badly on these test's as they look and respond to the potential threats & also consider there are more actual (developing) hazards than the clip IMO acknowledges. Really until the test centers have proper simulators with car seats, steering wheels & pedels, multiple SHD surround screens (with sound) & cameras monitoring candidates eye movments: the test is of little value.
Thanks for your comment. I found that I always clicked to early when practicing for the real test - which was before any points were awarded for the hazard! To score reliably I ended up clicking after a second or two - but I shouldn’t have had to play the system like that to pass. It seems the real clips are more suited to inexperienced drivers and their level of hazard awareness.
When are you supposed to click?! I still cant figure it out. I know I'm correctly identifying the developing hazard and I click throughout it as its developing 5 times waiting a second in between until the vehicle stops or the hazard clears, and I will either get disqualified for clicking too many times or I click once or twice and dont score enough. I just don't understand how this is marked?
8:00 there are atleast 3 main hazards starting right at the beginning involving pedestrians on the road which would effect your speed so this is one of those videos which is wrong.
Thank you for these videos as they are so helpful. I have recently started learning to drive again as I had stopped for a while due to failing the practical test a year ago. 👍
Can you please explain me something? First video of hazard test , 4:54 we can see a developing hazard and you have to take action on it. Question. Why it is such a big gap between when you saw a developing hazard and when you acting to it? Basicaly how this worked for me. When I decided to act I wouldn't get any points at all and the person who was driving the car in the video acted same time as me.
Also 4th clip. The x3 guys crossing the road on 7:59 but you not take this as developing hazard. But later , 08:04 as soon as this man walks on to the road , you are starting 5 count for hazard. This guy even didnt look back yet - which indicates could be an issue. So as a learner , how to understand this? 3x guys walk on the road they are not developing hazard, but similar situation , the guy steps on the street and he is straight away developing hazard. I am confused now
Hi, thanks again for the really good and helpful video, my theory run out last week and now I've to do it again, I have one request please, if there's any changes in the theory test or going to be in 2019 , could you let us know please , i did my theory 2016 Really appreciate your channel 👌
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool hmm....maybe my understanding of word "hazard" is a bit outdated.... Yes, it is unpredictable and it forses to take action, but it's not a HAZARD... Tank God I have driver's license....

I’m realising them way too late. I’ve been using the James May app and it was giving me zero for clicking at the time you guys say to. I’m very confused on how to pass this hazard test
It’s tricky if you are watching on a phone that has a small screen. If watching on a big TV or in real life it is much easier to spot the hazards earlier.
I can't see the hazard properly is hard to see it on time on the small screen like a laptop. Only person would be perfect on this is the guy who made the videos, I think this is very stupid idea. You may pass your test 50 out of 50 and in the end you lose because of this stupid videos where you can't see the hazard stupid
In real life, the quicker we can react to a hazard the better. So on the test we get 5 points if we react quickly, and gradually less and less the longer we take.

is it easy?
Hazard test is completely wrong way to judge driving test, the timeframe for point 5 should be reviewed.

Please remember that the newer videos are all CGI, it can throw you off a bit if your not expecting it.

Can hazards be road signs ?!
Road signs can warn us about a hazard, but the sign itself can't put us in any danger so would not be classed as a hazard.
No not at all, you only have to click for the hazards that move such as animals as well as pedestrians etc.
