The multiple-choice questions come first. There have been no changes to the format of this part of the test. Once you have finished this part, you may take a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception test begins. First, there is an on-screen tutorial which tells you what to expect.

The hazard perception test has 14 short video film clips, using real road situations, filmed as if you were the driver. There are 200 film clips available, the computer will randomly select 14 for you to be tested on. Each clip lasts for about one minute.

In the multiple-choice question part of the test, you can return to your previous answers and change them if you wish. The hazard perception test is different - each film clip Is shown only once and you cannot review clips or change your answers. You are given just one chance to deal with the situation, the same as you would if on the road and a hazard occurs.

The test is marked on a points system. Within the 14 clips, there will be 'scorable hazards' which are the developing hazards that you need to spot in order to score points. As soon as you spot one, click on your mouse button (left or right) to record the fact that you have spotted it. A flag will appear at the bottom of the screen to show that you have clicked the mouse. The quicker you respond to each potential hazard, the higher your score for that hazard. However, if you click the mouse repeatedly rather than just when you spot a hazard, you will score zero for that clip.

The maximum possible number of points is 75. Initially the pass mark for LGV / PCV theory test candidates will be 50.

The Theory and Hazard Perception Test

The DSA have introduced an additional element into the theory test. This is known as Hazard Perception and it is intended to test your ability to recognize developing hazards on the road.
