Theory Test

[help-me-please]

I am currently sitting my theory test very soon & purchased the discs and the book to help with revision however when I keep practising the hazard perception tests I fail all the time. My test is very soon & I am worried I will not pass this. Apparently there is only hazard per clip however when I watch the clips I find that there is often lots of hazards. I have tried and tried the tests over and over. Does anyone know any good websites or any tips on what I could be doing wrong as Im confused. Help x

Look ahead look for passengers in cars, buses pulling out , cars breaking or turning indicating etc, pedestrians, animals xx

puddles in the road is also another obscure ''hazard''...i passed my test in 1979 and never had to do this test..as millions of other drivers have passed their test before the theory test come into force...its just a money making rip off...the true theory is when you are actually driving..you are more aware of the situation around you when you are actually in control of your vehicle...the theory test is a load of ***..and watch out for that on the road on your theory test...

I did the Theory and Hazard Perception tests about four years ago when I learnt to ride a motorbike.

There were LOADS of hazards in EVERY clip ...

... parked cars, pedestrians, side turnings, driveway entrances, wet leaves in the road, bends in the road, bushes that you can't see round, cyclists, runner with earphones, etc etc. I was clicking away like mad.

one way my sister taught me when I was learning was to take me out as a passenager, and get me to commentate on what was happening. So, I had to say things like - old person about to cross the road, loose child on the pavement, low sun when you go round the bend, traffic lights coming up may change, cars coming towards you, lorries parked - etc. TBH when I eventually started driving, everything seemed like a potential hazard! but you do learn once you are driving, to filter out the ones you can prioritise as less likely.

^^ PS you mention your daughter which suggests that you are a more mature person... I didn't get my licence until my mid-forties, and I think it is more difficult that when you re younger, because you ARE aware of the things which might happen, youngsters often appear invincible! You can do it though, I did so you can!

^^ Doh, ignore that, it was stoke's daughter... sorry.
