How to practise hazard perception effectively

Hazard perception is about recognising when a potential hazard develops into something that may require you to change speed, direction or position.

PureCar uses original training simulations rather than copied official test clips. Use them to practise scanning, anticipation and click timing.

Useful points to focus on

Scan well ahead rather than staring at one object.
Look for movement and changing situations.
Avoid continuous or patterned clicking.
Review why each hazard became significant.
