A new test was introduced in 2002, in addition to the Theory test. This new test of "Hazard Perception" tests the driver's ability to identify potential hazards while driving, and prepare for any action that may be required to prevent accidents or collisions.
 
The test includes areas such as scanning, judging speed, planning ahead, and also considerations to safe distances. Research has shown that new drivers can take seconds longer than experienced drivers to recognise hazards.
 
This new course aims to provide new drivers with more knowledge of identifying the danger signs, allowing you vital extra seconds to take action.

For cars and motorcycles you will be asked 50 questions over 57 minutes. You will need to score 43 or more to pass.

At Cutts No Corners we can also provide you with theory books and CD Roms so you can practise the theory and hazard perception tests on your own PC.
