Hi

I'm looking to take my theory test in a couple of weeks.

Should I buy the "Hazard Perception DVD" or is it pretty straight forward when your sitting the test as to what the hazards are?

cheers

Shin
ps. I will probably be back with some more numpty ? once I've hopefully passed

I bought it, just because I didn't want the hassle of having to resit my test! Its only something like £12.99 and I sold it on eBay for £10 afterwards anyway!

I found practicing with a DVD to be pretty useful as you get to know what they are looking for.

I brought the DSA official hazard perception DVD & wish I hadn't wasted my money (9 or so clips which didn't bear much resemblance to the real test). My brother gave me his copy of the Driving Test Success Hazard Perception DVD which had a lot more clips and was a lot more useful imo.

I found that the DVD that came with my confirmation was more than good enough.

I went for my theory and didn't even realise there was this new hazard awareness part until it came up on my screen!! managed to to pass with a relatively high %... so really its just common sense... anyway good luck

I've just got in from doing my teory test, my riding schol lent me the Driving Test Success Hazard Perception DVD.

I found the real test a lot easier, the hazards stood out much more and looked very staged.

By the way I got 35/35 for the theory and 67/75 for the hazard perception.

shin - just passed mine on Tues after buying the hazard & theory DVD - you can have mine for a fiver if you want.... I found it useful as after driving for 16 yrs I still failed a few of the hazard tests in the exam (the way they score it is a little frustrating)
