Hazard perception test

2008-08-04T00:29:00.000-07:00

Hazard perception test forms a second section of the theory test and must be passed at the same time. Integrating theoretical hazard perception test training into the practical training sessions will ensure that as competence is achieved in each of the necessary skills, they can be strengthened and applied while you are on the road to increase the road safety benefits.
This part of the theory test requires you to view 14 hazard video clips on the computer screen of approximately one minute each. You are required to watch these clips as if you were the driver. There will be 15 hazard to find - at least one on each clip. However, one clip will have 2 hazard. The hazard perception test clips will not contain any sound.The clips feature various types of hazard, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing hazard is spotted, and a response made, the higher the score. Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15 score able hazard. You click either the left or right mouse button whenever you think you can see a hazard developing. The speed at which you click the mouse button as a hazard develops will determine your score for that particular hazard perception clips. You can score between 0 and 5 on each hazard.The pass mark for this part of the test is 44 out of 75 (i.e. 15 hazard x 5) for car drivers and motorcycle riders. Those taking LGV or PCV (lorry or bus) tests must score at least 50 out of 75. Candidates are given their results when they have finished both parts of the test and have returned to the waiting room.
Hazard perception test examination process
Each hazard perception clip will start with a freeze frame of the start of the video sequence and a count down from 10 will commence. At the end of the count down the clip will start to play and you will be required to click the mouse button each time you see a developing hazard. To let you know that the program has registered your click a red flag will appear on a grey band across the bottom of the screen - one flag for each click you make in any particular clip. At the end of the clip all the flags will be removed before you start the next clip.
An example of when to respond
As an example, of how to identify and respond to a developing hazard, consider a parked vehicle on the side of the road. When you first see it, it is not doing anything; it is just a parked vehicle. If you were to respond to the vehicle at this point, you would not score any marks, but you would not lose any marks.
However, when you get closer to the vehicle, you notice that the car's right hand indicator starts to flash. The indicator would lead you to believe that the driver of the vehicle has an intention of moving away, therefore the hazard is now developing and a response at this point would score marks. The indicator coming on is a sign that the parked vehicle has changed its status from a potential hazard into a developing hazard.When you get closer to the vehicle, you will probably see the vehicle start to move away from the side of the road; another response should be made at this point. Different clips in the test will have various signs to indicate that the hazard is changing its status and is now starting to develop.
How the scoring mechanism works ?
Each scoring window is divided into five equal segments and a score of five through to one allocated to each. Those responding in the first segment of the scoring window will score 5 and those in last segment a score of 1. Responses outside the window will score zero. If you click the mouse while in the first segment (i.e. just as the developing hazard appears) you will obtain the maximum score of 5 points. If you click in the second segment of this window of time you will score 4 points, then 3, then 2 and then in the last segment just 1. This is accurate to one twenty fifth of a second. If you click the mouse button (this is how you inform the computer that you have seen a hazard) too early, before the potential hazard becomes what the DSA term a “developing hazard”. Your score will be 0. Therefore to ensure you get a maximum score in the hazard perception test challenge, you should fully understand the DSA term “developing hazard” as opposed to “potential hazard” If you click several times during this window of time the computer will always take your highest score and record that for that particular clip. If you don’t click the mouse button in this window of time you will score nothing in respect to that hazard. If lots of unnecessary responses are made in a very short space of time, or throughout the clip, a zero score will recorded for that clip. If this happens a warning message will be shown on the screen at the end of the clip. When the clip ends the screen will turn black for a few seconds before the freeze frame for the next video clip appears and the count down commences again, warning you to get ready. This pattern is repeated until all 14 video clips have been shown. Click here to check how hazard perception test score is calculated
hazard perception test challenge - Hints and tips
Top
Although each clip contains several potential hazard only the one that materializes into a real hazard (one clip will have 2 hazards) and involves other road users is marked. This is known as a “developing hazard”. Therefore you will only receive a score if you spot a hazard before it fully materializes and is brought about by the action of another road user. In a few instances it is difficult to determine when a potential hazard becomes a developing hazard and therefore when the scoring window should start. This is why it is safer to click a few times as you see a hazard develop to make sure you don’t click too early and miss the opening of this window. Recognition of available clues and perception of danger are skills that are necessary in all drivers and riders, irrespective of the vehicle used. For this reason, the same version of the hazard perception test is used for all categories of test.
Look for these hazard

pedestrians or cyclists crossing the road
vehicles emerging from side roads, parking places or driveways
large vehicles moving over to your side of the road
meeting oncoming vehicles on narrow roads or where other obstructions or slow moving vehicles make the road narrow
loose pets and farmyard animals
changes in the traffic movement and volume
junctions and roundabouts
horse riders
weather conditions of the day
road surfaces
parked vehicles
hidden junctions & turns

Minimum age you can take a test

2008-06-15T22:31:00.000-07:00

You can take your theory test once your provisional licence becomes valid. Normally, for car drivers, the earliest date your provisional licence can become valid is your 17th birthday, however you can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday. So, if you apply for your provisional licence before you are 17 you will still have to wait until your birthday before you can take your theory test. For more information about applying for a provisional licence, please contact the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

Car Practical test Explained

2008-06-03T23:19:00.000-07:00

Your driving test will start with an eyesight check and some vehicle safety questions. You will then start your Car practical driving test which will include some specific manoeuvres.

The driving part of your test will last about 40 minutes. Throughout the test your examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving, including when you are carrying out the set exercises. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test.

The practical driving test (car)

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is now able to offer tests outside the normal test times at a number of test centres. This provides customers a wider range of appointments over an extended working day.

Car Practical tests are generally available at all permanent test centres. Saturday and weekday evening tests, subject to resources being available, are offered at a premium rate. Non premium rate tests are available at various times between 7.30 am and 3.27 pm Monday to Friday.

The Car driving test is straightforward and has been designed to see if you:

Can drive safely

Know The Highway Code and can demonstrate this through your driving

What will the test include?

The test will include an eyesight check (if you fail this, your test will not continue). The eyesight test requires you to read a number plate that is a certain distance away. After the eyesight test you will be asked two vehicle safety check questions. You will then be examined on your general driving and on two reversing exercises.
The reversing exercises will be chosen from:

Reversing around a corner

Turning in the road

Reverse parking

You may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop exercise.

Vehicle safety questions

These are basic safety checks that a driver should carry out to ensure the vehicle is safe for use. Although some checks may involve the candidate in opening the bonnet to identify where fluid levels would be checked, pupils will not be asked to touch a hot engine or physically check fluid levels.

As vehicle technology advances, more and more vehicles are being equipped with electronic diagnostic systems, which inform the driver of the state of the engine fluid levels and tyre pressures. It will be acceptable for a candidate to refer to the vehicle information system (if fitted) when answering questions on fluid levels or tyre pressures.

Candidates will be asked two questions, one 'show me' and one 'tell me'. One or both questions answered incorrectly will result in one driving fault being recorded.

What happens during the Car Driving test?

During the driving test the examiner will give you directions which you should follow. Test routes are designed to be as uniform as possible and will include a range of typical road and traffic conditions. During the test, the examiner will ask you to carry out set exercises.

Throughout the test you should drive in the way your instructor has taught you. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it, it might be a less serious driving fault and may not affect your result. The examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving.

You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test. If at any time your examiner considers you to be a danger to other road users your test will be stopped.

You are allowed to take someone with you on the test, this person must be over 16 years old and cannot take any part in the test.

After the practical test

When the driving test is over, the examiner will tell you whether you passed or failed. You can request feedback on your test from the examiner, who will then go through your performance during the test.

If you pass...

If you pass and have a photocard driving licence issued after 1 March 2004 the examiner will ask you if you want your full driving licence issued to you automatically.

If you want to use this service, the examiner will take your old licence off you, scan the details and send them electronically to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You will then be given a pass certificate to prove you passed your test. DVLA will then send you your new full licence by post within three weeks of you passing your practical test.

If you pass your test but do not want to use this automatic service, or have a licence issued before 1 March 2004, you will be given a pass certificate by the examiner. On the back of the pass certificate it tells you what you need to do next. This involves sending your licence and appropriate fee to DVLA who will then check your application and issue you with a new full licence.

If you fail...

If you fail the driving test you should ask the examiner for some feedback to help prepare yourself for your next test. Your driving report form will also show you where you made any mistakes. You can take another practical test 10 working days after your car or motorcycle test.

Driving test standards

All examiners are trained to carry out the test to the same standard, they do not have pass or fail quotas. So as long as you demonstrate the standard required you will pass your driving test.

Weather conditions/ mechanical problems etc

DSA do not conduct tests in bad light or in adverse weather conditions for the safety of the candidate and the examiner. We will arrange another appointment at no further cost, but compensation is not payable. Candidates should call the telephone number quoted on the appointment letter to check whether their test will go ahead. If the driving test is not completed for reasons attributable to you or your vehicle, you will have to take another test at your own cost.

Q. What is the UK driving theory test?

The UK driving theory test was introduced in July 1996 as a written examination and updated to a computer based test in 2000. The test is conducted by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency). Everyone who wants to have a full UK licence has to clear the theory test first and then only will be able to appear for the practical driving test. The theory test consists of 2 parts. The first is the written part which consists of 50 multiple-choice questions (selected randomly from a bank of over 1200) about a wide range of 'driving topics', such as car or bike mechanics, the Highway Code and driving law. The second part is the hazard perception test forms a second section of the theory test and must be passed at the same time.

This part of the theory test requires you to view 14 hazard video clips on the computer screen of approximately one minute each. You are required to watch these clips as if you were the driver. There will be 15 hazards to find - at least one on each clip. However, one clip will have 2 hazards. The hazard clips will not contain any sound. The clips feature various types of hazards, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing hazard is spotted, and a response made, the higher the score.

Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15 scoreable hazards. You click either the left or right mouse button whenever you think you can see a hazard developing. The speed at which you click the mouse button as a hazard develops will determine your score for that particular hazard clip. You can score between 0 and 5 on each hazard.

The pass mark for this part of the theory test is 44 out of 75 (i.e. 15 hazards x 5) for car drivers and motorcycle riders.

Those taking LGV or PCV (lorry or bus) tests must score at least 50 out of 75.
If you fail in any of the sections, you have to give the theory test again.

Q. How to book, change or cancel your theory test appointment?
Theory test appointments can be booked, and subject to three clear working days notice, be changed and cancelled using the online booking service or the telephone. You can also download an application form and apply by post. Before you can take your theory test you will need to make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence.

Before taking your driving theory test

2008-05-21T23:14:00.000-07:00

About driving theory test
To get your full driving licence you need to pass two tests, theory test and
practical test.

Driving theory test -
The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole test, and you'll need to take both parts again. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

A. Multiple choice element

The theory test is a computer-based test at various tests centres around the country.

This section is designed to test your understanding of the theory behind driving.

Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.

You have 57 minutes to complete the test. There is a 15-minute practice session you can work through before starting the tests.

The questions in each multiple choice test vary according to the category of vehicle you're hoping to obtain a licence for, i.e. a motorcycle theory test will contain specific questions that don't appear in any other test.

A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer.

You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test. After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.

For cars and motorcycles you'll be asked randomly selected 50 multiple-choice questions in 57 minutes and you need to get at least 43 right to pass. For lorries and buses you'll be asked 60 questions in 70 minutes and the pass mark is 51 out of 60.

The cost of the theory test is £28.50

B. Hazard Perception Test

After the break you'll then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception part works.

This forms a second section of the theory test and must be passed at the same time.

This section is designed to tests your awareness of potential hazards whilst driving.

The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse.

You'll be presented with a series of 14 video clips each about a minute long, which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there'll be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.

The videos feature various types of hazard, such as road conditions, vehicles and pedestrians.

The earlier you spot a hazard developing that may require the driver to take some action, the higher the score.

There are 15 scoreable hazards in the tests and candidates can score up to 5 points on each hazard.

Unlike multiple choice questions, for the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles e.g. car, bike, heavy vehicle etc, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.

You won't be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you'll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.
The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75. For lorries and buses the pass mark is 50 out of 75.

Actual Theory Test Screen

Actual Hazard Perception Test Screen

At the end of the test
At the end of the hazard perception part of the theory test you'll be invited to answer a number of customer survey questions.

You don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to, and any information given is anonymous and confidential. The survey questions don't affect the result of the test.

When you have finished the test you may leave the examination room. Once you have left the room, you'll not be allowed to enter it again. You'll then be given your result by the test centre staff.

Driving Age - What Should be the right age for learner drivers??

2008-02-22T02:41:00.000-08:00

It has been a known issue of deaths caused due to Young and newly-Qualified Drivers. But there has been a little progess for handling such problems. To avoid these major problems, Department for Transport has decided to take a review of the way people learn to drive and are tested.
The majority of deaths and injuries due to Young drivers shows the current plan is failing. If the whole package get included in the report, UK would have one of the most safe city in Europe. But for this to get success, people are not able to drive on the road unlicenced and uninsured. Government should take care of the people who are driving on roads illegally. Else the efforts are lost for improving road safety.

Basically Novice drivers means those with having less than 3 years driving eperience. Novice drivers are at a significantly increased risk of being involved in a road collision.
It has been proved that 18% of drivers were involved in at least one accident within one year of passing driving test. It goes decrising in coming years. Young novice drivers used to drive older vehilces which have lesser safety features than a new

vehilce. So the injuries proportion tend to get increase. To improve the novice driver safety the Department has

introduced a variety of changes :

introduction of theory test

introduction of hazard perception test

introduction of Pass Plus test

In Uk, you cannot drive until your are of 17. After getting a provisional license they can drive on the road.

But many people are feeling the current theory test system is having problem. They find difference between learing to drive and learing to pass the test.
Also for many people the cost of theory test is quite high.
So the need to restructure the current system for testing , maintaining driving skills etc.

The baseline for the new system will contain following points :

advanced syllabus

a framework about what a candidate should know and be able to do

Also in some cases the driving instructors itself provides low quality training.

Pass plus is a training for newly-qualified drivers which is avilable within the first 12 months of passing the test.

So a combination of drivining experience, age and attitude is towards safe driving.

Appearing For Driving Theory Test - Wait and Read This!!!!

2008-01-13T22:32:00.000-08:00

Minimum ages and rulesYou can take your theory test once your provisional licence becomes valid.

Normally, for car drivers, the earliest date your provisional licence can become valid is your 17th birthday, however you can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday.

So, if you apply for your provisional licence before you are 17 you will still have to wait until your birthday before you can take your theory test.

Disability living allowance
If you are receiving disability living allowance at the higher rate your provisional licence will come into effect when you are 16, but you can apply for it within three months of your 16th birthday.

Motorcyclists Direct access scheme
Direct access is a scheme, which allows a person over the age of 21 to avoid the two year/25 kW restriction by taking a test on a machine of at least 35 kW (46.6 bhp). A pass allows you to ride any size of bike. Any instruction given on a machine that exceeds the normal learner motorcycle specification must be supervised at all times by a certified motorcycle instructor who should be in radio contact. You should also wear fluorescent or reflective clothing and follow all other provisional licence restrictions.

Accelerated access
Riders who reach the age of 21, while still within the two year period where they are restricted to maximum 25 kW (33 bhp) machines, but who wish to ride larger bikes need to pass a further test on a motorcycle of at least 35 kW (46.6 bhp). They may practise on bikes over 25 kW (33 bhp) under the same practice conditions for direct access riders. You will revert to learner status while practising (on a motorcycle greater than 25 kW (33 bhp) although test failure will not affect your existing licence.

Mopeds and tractors
If you want to ride a moped you can take your theory test when you are 16, but again you must make sure you have a valid provisional licence. If you are 16 and already have a provisional licence for an agricultural vehicle or a moped, this will give you provisional entitlement to drive a car when you are 17.

Tips for saving insurance premium

2007-12-19T21:26:00.001-08:00

Tips for saving your insurance premium

 Young and newly qualified drivers can boost their no-claims bonus by taking an additional test called Pass Plus. Some companies will credit people who have passed Pass Plus with an extra year's no claims bonus.
 Drivers who don't have full no-claims bonus can build their bonus up quicker with a policy from some companies called Bonus Accelerator. This policy runs for 10 months rather than the usual 12. At the end of those 10 months, provided no 'fault' claims have been made, you get a full year's no claims bonus. So, somebody starting out with zero no-claims can build up to the maximum five years no-claims bonus in just four years.
 Be Careful if you choose this scheme You usually have to stay with the same insurance company throughout, in order to build up your maximum no-claims bonus. Companies don't usually allow you to carry a 10 months policy over from one company to another, so please check before you sign up for this type of scheme.
 Buy a smaller-engined car.
 If insuring your prospective car is proving too expensive, consider buying a car with a smaller engine. Remember that buying a cheaper car will not make a huge difference to your premiums.
 If you or your spouse buys a second car, you may be able to get an introductory bonus on the new car. This means that your insurer may give you the same no-claims bonus on the second car as you have on the first, provided you insure both cars with the same company. It is best to check this with your insurer first because not all companies offer this facility, and the conditions for introductory bonus vary between companies.
 If your insurance company offers voluntary excess, choose the highest excess you can afford. This can reduce your premium. Taking a higher voluntary excess (The amount of money you have to pay the insurance company if you have to make a claim) than the standard £100 could give you a substantial discount on their premium.
 If you do not use your car very much you may be entitled to a discount for low annual mileage. Declare your mileage! Telling your insurer how many miles you do, especially if it is below average, they do in a year, and simply let the salesperson plug in an average of, say, 12,000 miles. That's 230 miles a week. If you do less than that, you could be missing potential savings by not letting your insurer know.
 Similarly, if you don't use your car to travel to work, let your insurer know. You may be paying for cover you don't need.
 If you have access to a garage or driveway at night, use them. Using off street parking, rather than leaving your car on the street will attract a discount with most insurers.
 Insurers prefer prevention rather than claims, so vehicles fitted with an engine immobiliser or alarm may qualify for a discount. The devices that qualify for a discount vary from insurer to insurer; so make sure you check before getting any device fitted.
 Women can often get cheaper car insurance than their male counterparts.
 Statistically speaking women are seen as better drivers. Although male drivers often find this hard to believe, the facts are derived from the collection of claims data over several years - decades in fact by car insurance companies.
 However, despite the fact that women are statistically seen as better drivers, they generally have the same number of accidents as men. However, severity of the accident varies between the sexes. Typically an insurance company has to pay out a lot more to fix a car when a man has had an accident - the car has to be extensively repaired or even written off. Women’s accidents tend to require fewer repairs.
 Different insurance companies target different customers, so make sure you are using the best company for you. There are companies who specialise in policies for young, old drivers.
 Buying via the internet can save you money as online companies generally have lower overheads. You are more likely to get low cost car insurance UK online than by any other method.

Some other important points to remember:
 Fit insurance approved anti-theft devices to your vehicle. Approved alarms and immobilisers can significantly reduce premiums.
 Insure all your cars with the same company as this may entitle you to a multi-car discount.
 If you need other types of insurance, check if your insurance company offers discounts for taking out home and motor insurance with them.
 Check the insurance group of any new car you are considering purchasing. Premiums can vary greatly on seemingly similar vehicles. Groups run from 1 to 20 with group 1 cars being the cheapest to insure. A reliable, low profile vehicle is the best type to have if you want low cost car insurance UK.
 Be aware of the value of your car. If you can afford to replace an older car, perhaps you don't require a comprehensive cover. Even if it is completely written off, the most you will get if your car is in an accident is its market value, which may only be a few hundred pounds. Weigh that against what you would save on your insurance bill.
 If you have a car specifically for the younger drivers in your household, make sure it is an older, less valuable car.
 Modifications to vehicles can sometimes mean higher premiums. Check with your insurance company before making any modifications; they could mean forfeiting low cost car insurance UK.
 Be very careful about losing some, or all of your No Claim Discount. It makes a huge difference to premiums. You need to carefully consider the financial impact of making a claim. Remember that the purpose of insurance is to protect you from major incidents, not minor bumps and scrapes.
 If applicable ask for discounts for being an older driver. Some companies design policies specifically for the over 50's that reward experience with low cost car insurance UK.
 Driving an imported car with parts that are expensive and hard to replace will increase your premiums. In this case shopping around is even more important. Check the "Specialist Insurance" category in our directory for details of insurers who can offer you the best deals.
 UK car insurance brokers act on behalf of customers and are able to provide car insurance quotes from a panel of leading insurance providers.
 There are now insurance companies that specialise in providing student car insurance, although the cost of this can vary depending on the type of policy required.

Driving Mistakes - Penalty Points

2007-11-23T03:20:00.000-08:00

If you've just passed your first driving test - congratulations!

Statistics show you're most at risk of having an accident in the two years or so after you pass your test - one in five newly qualified drivers have a crash within a year. Your licence will be taken away if you increase that risk by committing offences like speeding.

If you are convicted of a motoring offence, the court can endorse your driving licence with penalty points or order a period of disqualification from driving. The details are entered on your driving record and your paper driving licence or photo-card D740 paper counterpart document.

The penalty point system is intended to deter drivers and motorcyclists from following unsafe motoring practices. Certain non-motoring offences, e.g. failure to rectify vehicle defects, can also attract penalty points. The court MUST order points to be endorsed on the licence according to the fixed number or the range set by Parliament. The accumulation of penalty points acts as a warning to drivers and motorcyclists that they risk disqualification if further offences are committed.
If you have six or more points on your licence during the first two years, you will lose your licence and will have to go through all the driving tests again as a learner. This means that you will have to reapply for a provisional licence and take both the theory and the practical test again.
