Professional voiceover is used extensively throughout the product for help, information, learning notes, tutorials, animations, video, questions, answers and hint advice and has been stated here to save repetition of this fact in the features and descriptions below.
Information learning module
- Comprehensive video tutorial and interactive presentation
about the scoring mechanism and precisely what constitutes a developing hazard. - Three Multi-media interactive tutorials entitled
- About the HP Test,
Hazard Perception skills and - Defensive Driving skills
incorporating 30 video clips and several interactive animated presentations.

- Thirteen tutorials covering each of the 13 common hazard perception test types that can appear on test and in the real world.
- 14 Practice clips, one for each hazard test type and one containing a double hazard for you to practice on with comprehensive review.
- After being tested on any practice clip you are presented with a comprehensive review feature that enables you to replay any practice clip in full or in part using a drag bar line that also shows exactly where you clicked and where each section of the scoring window was with the option to pause at each score point.
Exam Testing module
602 Hazard Perception video clips used to accurately simulate the Hazard Perception Test including the 10 Official DSA Hazard Perception sample video clips. All shot from outside of the car as on the real test.- 42 Full pre-set Hazard Perception test simulations with review option. Each test is unique and contains a properly balanced set of 14 hazard clips. For LGV and PCV users you can also choose the option to have 19 hazard clips in each test.
Random Hazard Perception Test simulations with review option giving virtually unlimited test combinations. - After each pre-set or random test you are presented with a comprehensive test review feature that enables you to replay any test clip in full or in part using a drag bar line that also shows exactly where you clicked and where each section of the scoring window was with the option to pause at each score point.
Exceptionally accurate anti-cheat mechanism to help you determine what type of clicking is and is not allowed. - Video is shot from outside the car in full PAL resolution (i.e. 720 X 576) just as on the real test - not from behind the windscreen of the car in a lower, grainer resolution as on most other products.
Review and retesting module
Review your test performance by hazard type and retake a test using just those clips for any particular hazard type you are weak on. Once you have made sure you are no longer weak on any particular type of hazard use the league table of weakest clips to polish off any final clip weaknesses. - Weakest clip league table review and retest. Allows you to see and retest yourself on your ten weakest clips for any particular hazard type or across all types. Helps you to eliminate any final weaknesses you might have.
Pre-set Hazard Perception test simulation review so that you can re-examine any of the 42 previously taken pre-set tests from the testing module again. - Again as with the practice clip and test modules you have the comprehensive clip review features available to you.
And finally
In our view no other product currently offers:
- A better understanding of what constitutes a developing hazard in the Hazard Perception Test and what are the common Hazard Types to look out for.
- More realistic Hazard Perception Test video clips, all shot from outside of the car as on the real test in full PAL resolution in DVD/mpeg2 video quality.
- More Hazard Perception clips to practice on (i.e. 602 in total).
- Properly balanced Hazard Perception Test simulations.
- Better value-for-money; it is easy to pay twice as much for a product half as good.
