i think they r racist. i got a penalty on the double hazard- 3 clicks at once then 4 clicks at once 4s later so thats 7 clicks. i got trolled hard by DVLA
Oh no. Don't worry prox, you will pass. When you do, you'll forget about it!
This happens to some people and they pass the practical first time. I actually didn't fail a theory test, but it ended up expiring twice! So I did mine three times before finally passing the practical! So you never know, it might be the opposite way around for you.
Best of luck 😊

When do they expire? I know you have 2 years to pass practice after theory

I feel it's going to take me 6 times where I am 1 mark away from passing :frown: it hurts splashing money out so easily

How many times did it take you to pass practical?

And thanks! :smile:

I sat my test yesterday, got 47/50 on the multiple choice. Got 70/75 on the hazard perception! Just read the theory book, Highway Code (signs) and practise with the 2015 theory and 2015 cgi hazard perception. Just remember it's not designed to make you fail... Just to test your basic knowledge. Good luck!

your welcome. It was years ago when I did mine it was when the hazard perception bit first started so things might have changed a bit. I pretty much did what deano321 just said, I read through every multiple choice question in the official DVLA book for the multiple choice bit.
For the hazard perception bit I just clicked on the video as soon as I saw something in the distance ( eg someone walking or a car indicating or a cyclist appearing from somewhere).

Oh yeah the theory test certificates expire after two years and you have to redo them.

I was bought one of the "Driving Test Success" DVDs for Secret Santa at work, but I'm sure I've seen them in WHSmith. I used that to practice, and found it much easier than trying to memorise the questions and answers from a book. You're able to try mock tests which include both questions and the hazard perception.

I passed the theory test first time with plenty of practice on there.

is there a clicking limit now or did you just click too many times too close together??

19th agust but the HP is just a game of luck .


the HP i have at home is not great because the resolotion isnt good


e.g at the 5 marker point i shouldhave clicked for an apporaching person but the person was litrally a pixel so i could only get 2 pts..




i hear so many people passing first time and then theres people who will take 4+ attempts with a mark short....

From what I know, just click once or twice for each hazard or incident.
One.

Full marks.

If you click it a couple of times. But when ever you see any hazard try to click it every 1-2 seconds to prevent being disqualified for cheating. the less you click the better. But whenever you see a POTENTIAL or DEVELOPING hazard such as a pedestrian, a sign, a car about to pull out click a couple of times. Hope that helps :smile:
