| Hazard
perception is the skill of a driver to
identify situations at an early opportunity,
in case of the need to take an action
of avoidance, such as using skills of
scanning, appropriate speed, planning
well ahead and safe separation distance.
|
| |
| The
hazard perception test, which will be introduced
in 2002, will be taken
at the same time as the theory test and
will add about 15 minutes time. |
|
| Participants
of the hazard test will be shown several
clips filmed from a car, each clip will
contain at least one hazard. When the candidate/participant
sees a hazard they will have to respond
to it as quickly as possible. |
