Hazard Perception Test 1
Start with basic developing-hazard scenarios and learn when a potential hazard starts to require action.
UK HAZARD PERCEPTION TEST
UK Hazard Perception Test Practice
Prepare for the UK hazard perception test with free practice designed to improve your awareness, anticipation and understanding of developing hazards. These scenario tests help you learn what to look for, when a potential hazard becomes a developing hazard and what a safe response would be.

Bus / PCV Hazard Practice
Bus stops, passenger safety, blind areas, vulnerable road users and smooth defensive driving.
What Is the Hazard Perception Test?
The hazard perception test checks how well you recognise developing hazards. A developing hazard is something that would cause you to change speed or direction. The real test uses video clips; these text scenarios are supplementary training to improve the judgement behind that task.
Why Practise Hazard Perception?
Regular practice can improve observation, anticipation and decision-making. Learning to recognise the moment a situation starts to develop is useful both for the theory test and for safer driving.
Important: the official hazard perception test is video-based. These original text scenarios supplement video practice rather than replace it. Use GOV.UK official practice clips too.
UK Hazard Perception Test FAQ
What is a developing hazard?
A developing hazard is a situation that has progressed to the point where it would make you change speed or direction.
How should I prepare?
Combine video-style hazard perception practice with scenario questions. Focus on spotting clues early and reacting when the risk starts to develop.
Are these the official DVSA questions?
No. These are original practice scenarios written to train hazard awareness. They are not copied from DVSA licensed revision material.
