I really hate that you can click too early for the hazard and get 0 points. So stupid.

[@harrisonprosser3556]

Thank you for this video. I was failing every hazard practice test. After watching your video I got 100% on every one after 🙌🏼.

I’ve left my theory to the last minute, you could say it’s a actual hazard..

Same im shitting myself

[@louiseattzs]

May not need this channel for very long but your content is stellar! Amazing quality & I can see you enjoy what you do!

[@181VICKSTER]

I revised daily for 3 months then went for my theory test. Passed with flying colours. 70/75 for my hazard perception and 49/50 for my questions. My instructor can tell how much I took in from the theory as its made me so much more aware of the road markings/signs and hazards. Understanding the theory test is key to being a safe driver so all that revision is really worth it. Also don't hurt to come back and re-read the books.

[@GetDriving]

Practice really does make perfect! We're happy to hear that you're doing well.

[@IqbalH016]

@ Francis... I have my theory test tomorrow and you know what, feel more reassured.. Will definitely be watching this video over and over!!! Much appreciated

[@Yann10232]

The clear explanation of all the videos I've watch. Thank you for the tips.

[@rachaelrebecca7905]

I just came here to say a massive thank you! I passed my theory test on Friday and this video helped a lot. I never really understood the hazard perception and every time I would revise it I would always click too early, no one could help me understand why I was doing it wrong lol but you did so thank you for that. A lot of your videos help me with my driving, the way you explain things makes it so much easier!

I am a scooter driver with a cbt. They didn't teach this to us, so we had to learn it ourselves live. This put us in real danger could easily cost our life or hospital especially in the UK with those dangerous traffic system with oncoming traffic in front of us literally in each road.

I cannot express how much revision you need to do for the theory. But it's so beneficial for not only passing your theory test but for driving day to day life you got this :)

[@peapeaprincess]

Hello, if there is a road like that busy high street where you pull out and see so many things, people, crossings, vans, junctions cars- at first glance it feels a little overwhelming… is there anything you recommend? Where to look orr certain things to prioritise or focus on that could ease me into it?

[@towazz5472]

I got a question. If I have to turn right but I got a traffic light on my left side on red color and no traffic light on the right to turn right neither in the another side of the junction. I have to stop no? It sounds stupid but in my country you don't have to. Thanks

Hi Francis, first of all, thank you very much for sharing your video on hazard perception, there's no doubt that the video has really expanded my knowledge on spotting hazard when it's developing. I'm preparing for my driving theory test next week and I will like to know, during the hazard perception test, is the candidate allowed to watch the video twice, before spotting any developing hazard.

Hi Francis, thanks for your videos they're fab, I find it really difficult to put everything I know and have learnt into practice when I'm driving, I just tend to clam up and make tons of mistakes despite watching videos, lots of reading and practice, do you have any words of wisdom for me on how I can get past this please, I changed my instructor to a female as I thought maybe it would help and my first lesson was a nightmare, I felt so embarrassed especially as I've booked my test for end of January and she clearly could see I'm not ready but I just clammed up and drove really badly and she couldn't see my potential. Please help, I'm desperate to resolve this. Thanks be safe x

Cheers guy , 🙏

[@johnr5867]

I've just done a hazard perception test online, on two different websites. The hazard mark started out way earlier when the truck was swerving, but on the other video the hazard mark was when the truck changed lanes... if this was on the real test, could you possibly click twice? Before the hazard could happen (by hazardous signs, or when the truck driver started looking tired) or during the hazard happening (when the truck driver swerved in a lane)

[@ahmedsheikh163]

in the real test its easier

[@aleksandrak6277]

Very useful video; My score on the hazard perception initially was 35, I watched this video and it went up to 61😭😭
