How do I practise hazard perception?

Updated 4 Aug 2026

Open Hazard perception in Drivings and click as soon as you see a hazard developing. Each clip is scored on how early you spot it, as the real test does, and you see your score and the scoring window straight afterwards. Hazard perception is part of Pro.

How it's scored

You click when you see a developing hazard — something that would make you change speed or direction. Points depend on how early you click: the earlier within the scoring window, the more you score.

Practising well

  • Click as soon as something looks like it might develop. Waiting for certainty is the most common way to score nothing.
  • Do not click constantly. Continuous clicking is detected and scores zero for that clip, on the real test as well as here.

After each clip

You see your score and where the scoring window actually was, so you can tell whether you were too cautious or too late. That feedback is the point of practising.

It's a Pro feature

Hazard perception practice is part of Pro — see plans and what Pro includes.

Where it sits in the test

Hazard perception is the second part of the UK theory test and you must pass both parts in the same sitting. Passing multiple-choice and failing hazard perception means retaking the whole thing, which is why it is worth practising in its own right rather than assuming it will be fine.
