Watch the road and click the hazard before it is too late. The same action as at the exam centre, on real Belgian traffic footage.
How does the hazard perception test work?
The hazard perception test measures whether you can spot a danger on the road before it becomes a crash. You watch short clips filmed from a car and you flag each hazard the moment you notice it. In Belgium the official test has 5 clips of about 30 seconds, 10 hazards in total, and you need at least 6 out of 10 to pass.
- Two practice clips They do not count towards the score. They are there to get the action and the rhythm right.
- Five official clips About thirty seconds each, filmed from the driver's seat, on Belgian roads.
- One click per hazard You click on screen where the hazard is, as soon as you notice it. Too early and the click is lost, too late and the hazard is missed.
- Six out of ten to pass Ten hazards across the five clips. The pass mark is 6 out of 10.
