Dvla hazard perception test 201512/1/2023 I wanted to save up so I could afford to buy (outright) my first car so that the only debt I'd have (luckily my college years were before the changes to who paid the fees and the level of them) was a mortgage. Whilst I passed my driving test aged 18 (in between finishing 6th form and going to uni), I did not drive again until 6 years later - well after I started work. What if I don't pass by then that would be a disaster because it would mean taking a year out of driving and still having to wear a mask on public transport by the time 2022 comes So you think I could pass with the right work even with my placement year next year. So don't for one minute think the theory bit is the hard part, that is easy, you can press reset if you get it wrong and no one is harmed. You have to drive on many different roads, in the dark, sometimes in foul weather surrounded by many idiots who do not realise you are a new driver. That is very different to learning how to pass the test since you are not driving on the same routes every week in daylight in light traffic. I was spending probably 10 hours a week on buses going to work and to college (plus time spent walking and waiting), when I had passed those journeys could be done in way less than 3 hours in a dry warm car so well worth the effort.Īfter those 5 months of tuition I passed first time but then began the hard work, I had actually learn to drive. ![]() Then I had to do the courseworks etc in my spare time.īut the incentive to put in hours learning to drive (I had 17 lessons from early June to early November plus a small amount of time with dad in his car once I had become slightly competent) was the fact I would no longer have to wait for buses at 5.30 on a wet winters morning plus getting too and from college 3 times a week was a total pain, 2 buses each way. I learned to drive when I was a 17 year old apprentice and in addition to doing the day job had to attend college for 1 1/2 days a week plus 1 evening (total learning hours 14 which is only 2 hours less than the 16 that constitutes a full time course these days). ![]() But one clip has two hazards, so you must click on two hazards to get points.So you think I could pass with the right work even with my placement year next year. In each clip there will be at least one developing hazard. This pattern is repeated until all 14 video clips have been shown. You will then get a countdown into the next clip to make sure you are ready. When the clip ends the screen will turn black for a few seconds before the freeze frame for the next video clip appears. If you click lots of times in quick succession, or if you click with a regular pattern all the way through the clip (for example click every 3 seconds), you will also score zero for that clip. If this happens a warning message will be shown on the screen at the end of the clip. If you don’t click the mouse button in this window of time you will score nothing in respect to that particular hazard. If you click several times during this window of time the computer will always take your highest score and record that for the particular clip. Therefore to ensure you get a maximum score in the hazard perception test, you should fully understand the DVSA term “developing hazard”, as opposed to “potential hazard”. If you click the mouse button too early, before the potential hazard becomes a “developing hazard”, your score will be 0.
