the_mandarin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi ... I've got my Driving Theory test coming up, and seem to be struggling a bit with the "Hazard Perception" part of it ... Any tips from anyone who has taken the test recently would be helpful! Also, is there any limit to the number of clicks you are allowed per clips, before you are deemed to have cheated? The test states that there will be one (out of 14) clips that will have two hazards. This is a bit tricky, because most clips seem to have multiple incidents that can be classified as a hazard. But until you see the full clip, you cannot decide the "real hazard" in that clip. Any tips to identify the real double hazard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathill73 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I tend to click as soon as i see hazard the click again, i clicked everytime i saw a hazard then again just after and passed 1st time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambeano Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was taught to click when you see the potential hazard, click again when it develops and click again when you pass it/ change directions, or have to stop. I passed 2 weeks ago and until I was told that I was failing all practice tests but passed the theory with 66 out of 75 (pass mark is 44 I believe). Also I found that the HP in the test was slightly easier as it was more obviousl as there was not as much going on as in the practice clips Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mandarin Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks - that was encouraging, as I am not doing all that good with the software that I have. I have read that if you click too many times, the software decides that you are trying to cheat and rejects your points for that clip. Is there any limit to the maximum number of times that you can click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidbobs Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I passed mine last week, was easier than i thought, lots of practice on the PC CDROM helps if you have one. It can say you're cheating if you click lots and lots of times, but if you just look out for hazards and click when you first see them, then every time it changes there on you will be fine, some clips i clicked 10-15 times on and never got the message to say i was cheating. like Bambeano said, the hazards in the clips are so obvious its hard to go wrong. (ps if you don't have the CD ROM pm me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mandarin Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 10-15 times is quite reasonable. I already have the disc called "Driving Test Success - ALL tests" But thanks for the offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Get the official DSA HPT disc. The 'Driving Test Success' one is not official and as a result, the scoring windows are slightly different to the real one. Thats why Bambeano found it easier.

Is there any limit to the maximum number of times that you can click? if you click a lot you will lose the points for that clip it did it to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
