Hazard perception test

If you want to get your probationary driver licence or overseas change over licence you need to pass the Hazard Perception test prior to your actual drive test. Therefore, to undertake this you must:

• Be at least 17 years and 11 months of age before you go for your Ps and
• Hold a current learner permit (or successful test results for the learner permit knowledge test if an overseas driver).

Hazard Perception test checks if you are able to recognise and respond to hazards and how well you can observe the whole road scene and respond safely.

When you take the test make sure you identify and respond to potential hazards safely using the following three parts to the hazard perception

• See: using your eyes to scan the road ahead and spot any hazards
• Think: thinking about what you need to do ahead of time to respond safely
• Do: acting in response to the hazard you see for example, slowing down or creating more space

Practise your hazard perception skills by:

• Scanning for hazards in front and around you
• Keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front 
• Driving at a safe speed for the environment you’re in 
• Sharing the road safely with others 
• Giving yourself enough time to slow down
• Using the ‘three-second rule’
• Watching out for changing road conditions or road works
• Minimising distractions such as loud music, lots of conversation and the radio.

You can use the above link to practice for the hazard perception test. Once you are confident book an appointment using the below link to sit for the test.
