The DSA Hazard Perception Test is a test adminstered by the DSA which UK learners must pass to obtain a driving licence.
Format
Examinees watch fourteen one-minute clips filmed from the pespective of a car driver and have to indicate, usually by clicking a mouse button, when they observe a hazard. All of the clips will include one developing hazard, though one will include two such hazards. More points are obtained the earlier the click is made, up to a maximum of five, and excessive clicking will result in that question's score being discounted from the total.
It is usually immediately preceded by a theory test. Having passed these two exams, it is necessary to pass a practical driving test in order to obtain a driving licence.
