In addition, since November 2002, candidates must also pass the Hazard Perception test. This test is run straight after the theory part of the examination has finished, and consists of 14 video clips, each 1 minute long. In the clips there are 15 hazards (1 clip will have two hazards but the candidate will not know which one). The candidate must spot the developing hazard at the earliest opportunity to pass.
The two tests count as one examination. If one test is failed, then the candidate will have to re-take them both.
There are 158 centres throughout
the U.K, administered on behalf of the DSA, conducting a computer based 'touch
screen' test.
We can offer you full in-car Theory Training. We can provide you with the relevant books and lend to you the CD ROMs to help you. We also have Mock Test Papers which you can take home and complete, they will then be marked and explained on your next lesson.
All this is completely FREE and at no extra cost to you.
