As above am going to look at booking my theory test in January just looking for any advice on it ? Done my car one 12 years ago . Is it hard ? Best things to study ? Ideally want to pass it then go onto das straight away as I think will be easy to get lessons in this time of year .
Thanks
Thanks
if you have an ipad i found the following app really helped. Has the full question bank and you can do revision exercises and mock tests. More importantly has the new set of CGI hazard tests so you can practice and get a feel for when you need to click. I did 4 evenings practice with this app and passed first time with 100 percent on questions and I think 68/75 on hazard - anyway it was well worth it.

I was like you and passed by car test before the hazard perception came in so I was worried about it when I did it a couple.of years ago.
I bought a pc dvd and locked myself in the dining room for an hour a few times and just went through it loads of times. I passed first time.
Be careful about clicking too early and for things that you perceive as a hazard. It'd only supposed to be 'developing hazards', it ones that are going to affect you. So a child walking along the pavement isnt a hazard, but as soon as the child start walking towards the road it is.
Assuming it's still the same as when I did it, the video is all cgi. So mostly the only things on it are hazards, as opposed to the old version and what was on the dvd I had being rral life where they just drove around the Swansea area and picked out the hazards later, so there were plenty of red herrings on them, but the cgi one they might as well wave a flag about the hazard.

Yes the CGi ones are all totally obvious - the memorable ones I got:I bought a pc dvd and locked myself in the dining room for an hour a few times and just went through it loads of times. I passed first time.

police car with blues on turns right across your path
learner driver kangaroos down side road then pulls out in front of you
pedestrians walk out from behind a parked van
wide tractor pulls out a side road
cars in the oncoming lane through a narrow bridge
- the gotcha isn't the hazard - they are easy to spot, it's knowing when to click to get 5 points - click too early and you get nothing and car drivers tend to click too early, so the way to pass is: spot the hazard and click, count two seconds then click again as it 'develops' then wait two seconds and click again as it becomes a hazard - doing that I got between 3 min and 5 max points on every clip - without the follow clicks on the trial i kept getting zero for clicking just before the scoring window.
The hazard is fairly obvious - it is all things that will cause you to slow down or take avoiding action so look for:
cyclists pulling out to turn right
pedestrians walking into the road
car door opening
kids with footballs
hgv pulling out from a parking layby
old people
learner drivers
tractors
horses
emergency vehicles with blues on.
cars coming speeding up to junctions
buses
