DSA driving test - know the typical user queries related to the hazard perception test

Its been found that, even after passing the driving test, learner drivers are involved into the road accidents disproportionately, especially in the first months.

Hence, it is important to take hazard perception training to improve hazard perception skills of the learner drivers. And also to become a safe driver minimizing the road accidents risks.

Here are few typical hazard test related queries which can help to know the exam better.

There are loads of informative pages available on the internet about the hazard perception test scoring mechanism etc. But usually a learner driver fails to understand the typical problems, other drivers also face.

Q1. Hazard Perception test not fair, I am experienced driver?

Although being experienced driver, I failed this part of the driving test. While practicing I can pass every time getting above passing mark. But in actual examination, I failed 2 times so far. I have spent more than GBP 100 already. Any advice to pass hazard perception test would be appreciated.

Q2. How to pass hazard test?

I am not sure about the way hazard test scoring mechanism works. Can someone explain terminologies like potential hazard, developing hazard, developed hazard, scoring window. I have my test next week and still not sure about hazard test. Please help. As I find this as difficult part of the test.

Q3. What types of hazards I look for in hazard clips?

I always see more than 2-3 hazards per clip. Should I click for all of them? Also can I click anywhere on the screen or do I have to click on the hazard itself. Please let me know any good websites to hazard perception test practice clips. Also any tips on passing hazard test on first attempt would be appreciated.

Q4. I failed my hazard perception part of driving theory test due to too many clicks. Can someone explain this?
