What is required for the hazard perception part of the theory test
The hazard perception test is not designed to evaluate your reaction speed, it is designed to test your ability to predict a hazard from its earliest warning signs.
Driving in the real world requires certain skills:
- observation
- anticipation
- reaction
Observation is the ability to spot small details ahead of your position, and sometimes behind or to either side of you.
Anticipation is predicting how the things that you have observed might affect you.
Reaction is the adjustment of your speed, direction, or road position to neutralize a hazard before it has even occurred.
Many people think that the brain works differently when you're actually driving compared with just watching a TV screen. However, practicing hazard perception is valuable for when you are on the roads.
There are certain rules as to what a hazard is, it takes PRACTICE to make sure you click at the correct spot in the right time frame.
