Hazard perception clips

Hazard perception clip scenarios

Last updated on

Our Driving Theory Test Kit UK app puts you on every kind of UK road. These are the 38 hazard perception scenarios you'll practise on — from quiet country lanes to busy motorways, town high streets to snow, night and driving rain.

No two clips are alike. You'll read rural villages and stone bridges, residential estates and shopping streets, dual carriageways and low winter sun — the real situations a learner has to handle — with fresh clips added regularly.

Practise every one of these scenarios with timed, scored hazard perception clips — plus 750+ free DVSA revision questions. Download the app and start now.

How to practise hazard perception

Stills show you the variety of scenes, but the test scores your timing — when you click as a hazard develops. Read how the hazard perception test works for the scoring window, the anti-cheat rule and a click strategy, then practise on moving clips. GOV.UK offers 3 free official practice clips, and our app adds a larger set with instant scoring.

Practise the full set of hazard perception clips — timed, scored and regularly updated — alongside 750+ free DVSA revision questions in our app.
