Hazard perception test introduction –

Hazard perception test has been introduced in the driving theory test. It was introduced because new
drivers are unfairly involved in accidents, generally in the first months after passing their driving test.

Hazard perception test is a second section of the driving theory test and candidate must pass the test at the
same time. It has been noticed and brought into the picture that driver who has taken hazard perception test
practice or training has much better hazard skills.

Many learner drivers fail in hazard perception test because they need to know more about hazard test itself.
Hazard perception test plays a very vital role as it helps in reducing number of deaths on the roads. While
driving there are some hazards to which driver come across such as huge vehicles moving over to your side
of the road, loose pets and farmyard animals, change in the traffic movement and volume, junctions and
roundabouts, horse riders, weather conditions of the day, road surfaces, parked vehicles, hidden junctions &
turns. A driver has to face all this obstacles and has to come out of all this very smoothly and make his own
way.
