Finally passed the bloody thing today
(3rd attempt though!) 35/35 and 48/75

Now for the practical..
I think the hard part is over though this hazard thing really is a load of bollocks

does the hazard test have a woman driving a car you can click on?















do you get double points for clicking on harriet driving?

Originally posted by Coup do u drive? i dont think so. therefore u dont really understand how u could use this test in real driving. the scoring isnt messed up, it is just very critical, u need to respond to 'potential' hazards quickley, its not clicking when a cycist charges out in front of u, its clicking when u see the cyclist first[/b], thats the key, it is clicking the moment u see a [i]potential hazard, not clicking when it actually happens.

Well yes I do drive, as Mikey said.


I really do think the hazard test is pretty useless, passing it isn't going to make you a good driver and failing it isn't going to make you a bad one. A lot of people take it a few days after their 17th birthday, and still past it despite having had very few or no lessons at all. This, in my opinion shows that its not a test of driving skill, but rather will be easier for people who have played alot of computer games.

I think no ammount of testing is going to put off dangerous people from the roads. It's not the person who had a problem passing the hazard test, but now drives normally whos the danger... its the boy racer who passed theory and practical with flying colours and its now driving around like a madman.

they've recently introduced the theory test in Ireland too, it'd say it's quite similar.. You have to get 35 / 40 questions right to pass.

90% of the questions are piss easy, but they through the odd one in to catch u out! get the CD and i'll be flying.

And learn off all the figures for stopping distances when wet / dry...

Agreed! I think one of the obvious reasons for having this stupid hazard test is due to so many boy racers.
It seems lots of people just pass the test and don't seem to care about their driving once they got their licence.

thats utter shit. unless u can effectly percieve a hazard before it happens, u will not pass. when i did mine, i was trained by an emergency services instructor and i had alot of inside information on how this works and you will only pass, being a good or bad driver if u have the ability to read a possibly hazard. wheather they use that information on the road is out of our control, but this tests now filters out people who cant read a hazard, which is vital when u drive.
