 Not as bad as other reviews might suggest August 30, 2008
E. Rottner
I was fortunate enough to be lent this DVD and in conjunction with the Theory CD passed my theory test first time around. That said, I am learning to ride a motorcycle as an experienced driver. The DVD progressively explains Hazards with a gradual emphasis on differentiating static hazards from Developing ones (ie ones which absolutely force a driver/rider to change speed or direction). This much is fairly obvious. I think to fully grasp the material it is worthwhile viewing 3 or 4 times to pick up on the subtleties and in spite of the narrators explaining that there is no benefit in resitting the example tests, I think it all reinforces the learning process so I would disagree. br / br /However the major failing is not so much the lack of explanation of what a Developing Hazard is, it is more the very few practise clips available. Equally I am not convinced that the tests always register the responses accurately which sometimes makes you think that you have performed badly when in actual fact if you made the same decisions in the real test you would have been successful. br / br /I would recommend if you are serious about passing your test that you get you hands on a copy of this DVD. I sat the test without any additional lessons since passing my driving test 16 years ago and all I can say is that it worked for me. br / br /I hope this helps.
Pretty good - lets you know what to expect July 25, 2008

This is probably one of the only dvds around that lets you know what to really expect in the actual hazard perception test which makes it wonderful for the theory test preparation.
Not as helpful as you might think July 1, 2008

I took my test for a full car license several years ago, way before all these new fangled theory tests were brought in, but in the grip of my midlife crisis I decided to learn to ride a motorbike. br / br /So I needed to brush up on the theory test for bikes and the hazard perception test. This was the only product I found dealing with the hazard perception part of the test. br / br /Being unable to compare it with anything else makes objective comment a little difficult, but I didn't find the DVD much use at all. br / br /That said, I'm not sure it's necessarily the DVD's fault - I think the hazard perception test itself is poorly presented and unclear in what exactly is being measured (I passed it first time, by the way, so this isn't sour grapes). Even after watching this DVD, taking the mock tests (which require you to click the OK button on your DVD remote when you spot a hazard) and then taking the real test, I'm still unclear what I could have done to ensure a perfect score. br / br /That's really my gripe - I didn't feel sufficiently confident after running through this DVD that I knew exactly how I was going to be marked in the real test. br / br /But maybe that's my problem, not this product's. br / br /Final conclusion: worth getting because it won't do any harm and might do some good. And you get to watch Suzi Perry presenting the bits between the clips. I'd borrow this or buy it cheaper second hand if I were you.

This dvd is the only official hazard perception test dvd on the market. Hazard Perception is a key part of today's driving tests and this high quality and interactive hazard perception DVD (formerly named the Roadsense dvd) will help boost your driving skills and prepare you for the tests and beyond. Essential for all learner drivers including lorry drivers, bus drivers and MOTORCYCLISTS, this official guide to hazard perception aims to improve the learner's perception of hazards and explains how todeal with them.
