Hazard perception test 2026: official DVSA guide

Here's an interesting test case for "context-aware" machine perception: the UK's Hazard Perception test for new drivers. You sit at a computer and are shown 15 recordings of everyday road scenes, from the drivers view, and you have to click when a "developing hazard" appears. It's quite an annoying test, since what counts as a "developing hazard" is not clearly defined, but the intention is that practicing for the test trains your subconscious to scan for minor cues -- e.g., a car rapidly approaching from a side road (which will likely pull out without stopping), or two pedestrians finishing their conversation and one turning to face the street (they will likely step out into the road).
