What is a HPT? The HPT is a computer-based test designed to find out how you react to potential dangers when driving. During the HPT, you use the computer’s touchscreen to show how you respond to real traffic situations, such as if and when you would slow down, overtake, or turn. The HPT is based on the driving situations that lead to the five most common crash types for NSW provisional drivers. More information on these crash types may be found in the section ‘Crash patterns of provisional drivers in NSW’. The purpose of the HPT is to reduce the high level of young driver crashes in NSW by:
• Encouraging new drivers to develop hazard perception skills.
• Testing learner drivers on driving situations that are known to lead to the most common types of crashes involving provisional drivers in NSW.
• Preparing them for solo driving by allowing learner drivers with adequate hazard perception skills to attempt the driving test. Hazards and hazard perception.
There are three basic hazard perception skills assessed in the HPT:
1. Keeping a safe distance from other vehicles
2. Selecting safe gaps
3. Identifying hazards.
To summarise, The Hazard Perception Test consists of 15 clips of real traffic situations to which you will be asked to respond based on instructions given before the clip plays.
