How many hazard perception clips are in the test?

There are 14 video clips. One contains two developing hazards, so you are scored on 15 hazards in total. Each hazard is worth up to 5 points, giving a maximum score of 75; car learners need 44 to pass.

  • 01

    Watch

    Each clip plays a one-minute driver's-eye view — rural lanes, busy junctions, school runs, motorways and night driving.

  • 02

    Spot

    Click the moment a hazard begins to develop. Don't wait until you'd brake — the test rewards early observation.

  • 03

    Score

    Earlier clicks earn up to 5 points per hazard. You need 44 out of 75 across 14 clips to pass.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the UK hazard perception test before you book.

Fourteen clips of around one minute each. One clip contains two developing hazards, so there are fifteen scoring opportunities in total. Each hazard is worth up to five points, for a total of 75.

44 out of 75 for car learners — about 58%. LGV, PCV and ADI candidates need 67 out of 100 because their test contains a second sequence of harder clips.

Anything that would cause a driver to take action — slow down, change direction or stop. A parked car only becomes a hazard once it pulls out, opens a door, or a pedestrian appears beside it.

No. The scoring system detects repeated or rhythmic clicking and zeros that clip. Aim for one well-timed click — or two at most, just before and just after you notice the hazard.

Not on the real test — each clip plays once. In Drivings you can replay any clip during practice and review the scoring window frame-by-frame so you learn the rhythm before exam day.

Yes. You can practise on a phone or tablet, and the clips stream on iOS, Android and the web. Test-centre equipment and screen layouts can differ, so follow the instructions shown on the day.
