Mock practice test based on the UK DVSA format
The hazard perception test is the second part of the official DVSA driving theory test, taken at the test centre right after the multiple-choice questions. You watch a series of video clips filmed from the driver's seat and click the moment you spot a developing hazard — anything that would make you slow down, brake, or change direction, such as a pedestrian stepping off the kerb or a car pulling out of a side road.
You must pass both parts of the theory test in the same sitting. Our free mock test above follows the same format and scoring rules as the real 2026 DVSA exam, so you can see exactly how ready you are before booking.
| Licence category | Clips | Hazards | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car and motorcycle | 14 | 15 | 44 / 75 |
| LGV and PCV (lorry and bus) | 19 | 20 | 67 / 100 |
Every developing hazard is worth up to 5 points. The scoring window opens as soon as the hazard starts to develop and is divided into five equal bands:
There is no penalty for clicking when there is no hazard, so click whenever you think something is developing. But clicking non-stop or in a rhythm triggers the anti-cheating check and scores zero for that clip — the same rule applies in this mock test.
The hazard perception test is the second part of the UK driving theory test. You watch video clips filmed from a driver’s point of view and click as soon as you spot a developing hazard — something that would cause you to slow down, brake, or change direction. The earlier you respond, the more points you score.
The official DVSA test for car and motorcycle candidates has 14 video clips containing 15 developing hazards — 13 clips have one hazard and 1 clip has two. Each clip lasts about a minute and plays only once.
Car and motorcycle candidates need 44 out of 75 points. LGV and PCV (lorry and bus) candidates watch 19 clips with 20 hazards and need 67 out of 100. You must pass both the multiple-choice and hazard perception parts in the same sitting to pass the theory test.
Each developing hazard is worth up to 5 points. The scoring window opens when the hazard starts to develop and is split into five bands — click in the earliest band for 5 points, then 4, 3, 2, and 1 as the hazard gets closer. Click too late (or not at all) and you score zero for that hazard.
You cannot lose points for a wrong click, so it is safe to click whenever you think a hazard is developing. However, if you click continuously or in a repeated pattern, the system scores that clip as zero — both in the real DVSA test and in this mock test.
A developing hazard is something that would cause you, the driver, to take action — for example a pedestrian stepping into the road, a car pulling out of a junction, or a cyclist moving into your lane. A potential hazard (such as a parked car) only becomes a developing hazard when it starts to affect your driving.
No. The official test can only be taken at a DVSA test centre. This free mock test follows the same format, click scoring, and anti-cheating rules as the real exam, so it is a realistic way to practise before test day.
Practise regularly with interactive clips, learn to scan the whole scene (mirrors, junctions, pavements), and click as soon as a hazard starts to develop rather than waiting to be sure. The Luma app includes 36 DVSA-licensed CGI hazard perception clips with instant scoring so you can track your progress clip by clip.
The Luma app gives you 36 DVSA-licensed CGI hazard perception clips, 700+ exam-style theory questions, and mock tests that mirror the real exam. Track your scores clip by clip and walk into your theory test knowing you're ready.
