The Hazard Perception Test measures a persons ability to observe the whole road scene, recognize potentially dangerous situations ('developing hazards') on the road, and respond safely and appropriately. The cost to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) of delivering the driving theory test will reduce from September 2014, under revised contract. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has supported the call for the test to be updated. Kevin Clinton, head of road safety at RoSPA, said: “In recent years, more accidents have occurred due to ‘modern’ driving hazards. One in six (16%) new drivers say they find it difficult to spot these ‘modern’ hazards. For example, the most common ‘modern’ hazards include potholes (reported by 41% of new drivers), pedestrians on mobile phones (reported by 33%), children on scooters (reported by 21%) and even vape clouds from vehicle windows (reported by 11%).

Introduced in 2002, the current test contains hazards such as cyclists, cars turning ahead and horse riders, but new drivers told LV= that a number of ‘modern’ risks weren’t included.
