Hazard Perception Test Practice 2

The real UK hazard perception test uses video clips, but this practice test uses written driving scenarios to help you understand how developing hazards appear on the road. In Hazard Perception Test Practice 2, you will read short road situations and decide what a safe driver should do next. Each scenario is designed to improve your ability to recognise risk early, respond calmly, and avoid unsafe decisions. A developing hazard is something that may cause you to slow down, stop, change direction, or take extra care. This may include a pedestrian near the kerb, a vehicle emerging from a side road, a cyclist moving across your path, or traffic suddenly slowing ahead. These text-based questions are useful for building your hazard awareness before practising with video clips, because they help you understand the thinking process behind safe driving.

What You’ll Learn in This Test

The real UK hazard perception test uses video clips, but this practice test uses written road scenarios to help you build the same core skill: spotting a developing hazard early.A developing hazard is something that may force you to slow down, stop, change direction, or take extra care. This could be a pedestrian stepping into the road, a vehicle emerging from a side road, a cyclist moving across your lane, or traffic suddenly slowing ahead.In this text-based hazard perception test, you will read short driving situations and choose the safest response. The goal is not just to guess the answer, but to understand why a hazard is developing and how a careful driver should react.This practice is especially useful before moving on to video-based hazard perception clips because it helps you recognise common risk patterns on the road.

Before You Start

Read each road scenario carefully. Think about what could happen next and decide whether the situation is becoming a developing hazard.

Choose the answer that shows the safest response, such as slowing down, preparing to stop, checking mirrors, or giving other road users more space.
