Official format
The Car theory test hazard-perception part uses 14 clips containing 15 developing hazards in total. The pass mark is 44/75. You can score up to 5 points for each developing hazard.
What you should practise
- Scanning far ahead and to the sides.
- Noticing clues before the hazard is obvious.
- Recognising the exact point where action becomes necessary.
- Maintaining observation after one hazard because the scene can continue to change.
- Avoiding repeated patterned clicks.
Scenario practice

Use limited visibility as a clue to reduce risk before another road user emerges.
Brake Lights Ahead
Recognise how a normal traffic stream becomes a developing queue hazard.
Pedestrian Approaching a Crossing
Identify when intention becomes a developing hazard requiring action.
Motorcycle Filtering
Watch mirrors and gaps for a smaller road user moving through traffic.
Country Road Bend
Use road layout, view limits and speed to anticipate developing risk.
