...tell me this isn't the quality of the actual test itself?

but you can press the button more than the actual number of hazards

[ApexJimi]

I realise this has probably been done to death, but I take it that the scores are related to the timeframe in which you "click", as opposed to the location of the mouse cursor relative to the hazard?

[Matthew-TMM]

Yes.

[Dudd]

Correct, the earlier you see the hazard, the quicker you click, the more points you get. Therefore you are clearly a safer rider....

er. Thats the theory. Nothing can ever account for real world experience.

unless you click as early as anyone who isnt blind & asleep would do of course. as then you score zero. you have to click at the point you'd brake or something, so its not when its a hazard, its when you avoid it. which just goes to prove they dont want safe riders ffs!

This is exactly one of my gripes with the system. To make sure you get a score, you then have to click a few times to be sure, but make sure you don't click to quickly, or you fail.

How many clicks are you given to use?

Rumour has it that a load of police class 1 riders faied it as they spotted more hazards than the system could cope with

argh, best not get me started on the hazzard perception test (which I passed second time round) It’s a diabolical shambles of shoddily choreographed motoring clips displayed at dismal resolution with appalling lighting. The car involved drives at an absurd 5 miles an hour and seems to be the biggest hazard on the road throughout each clip. The software that registers the user attempts to pass is an archaic press the button type scenario... Outrun was more advanced than this! Actually it would doubtlessly offer better results as an assessment of an individual’s reaction times as well.

Do NOT click too soon....

This is such stty software I was actualy spotting the hazards too soon and therefore scoring 0 on alot of the clips.

just click numerous times but don't over do it or it will think you are cheating. there is a knack to it. get a decent set of DVDs I recommend Driving test success as that shows the timeframe when you review the clips and tells you where you clicked. was always showing me clicking just before the timezone. So I had seen the hazard but "too soon"
