UK hazard perception test explained (2026)

The hazard perception part of the car theory test for Great Britain has 14 video clips with 15 developing hazards; you need 44 of 75 to pass, per DVSA. You book and take it together with the multiple-choice part and must pass both.

How it is scored

14 clips, one with 2 developing hazards; up to 5 points per developing hazard; one attempt per clip; clicking continuously or in a pattern scores zero.

Retakes

At least 3 working days; the whole test must be rebooked even if one part was passed.

Practise the multiple-choice part with our UK (Great Britain) car theory test practice tests. We do not offer hazard perception clips; use the official DVSA material below.
