What is the Hazard Perception Test (HPT)?
The HPT is a touch-screen computer test which measures your ability to recognise and respond to potentially dangerous situations. Research has shown that a lack of these skills is a major factor in crashes, particularly those involving young drivers. Resources are available to help you practise your hazard perception skills. A Hazard Perception Handbook is available from motor registries or on this website. You can also practise your hazard perception skills online at this website, with a series of interactive tests which are similar to the HPT – use the related link.
