The Hazard Perception test is changing. New computer-generated (CGI) clips will be introduced in early 2015. CGI clips are much clearer on screen than the current ones in video format. Using CGI will also allow the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency to develop new clips that include a wider range of hazards, for example including situations with vulnerable road users like children or cyclists that would previously have been difficult to film. The CGI clips could also include a range of driving conditions, such as night time driving or bad weather. We were very sceptical about the use of CGI in the past, and voiced our concerns directly to the DVSA, feeling that this would be a backwards step - surely real life clips show reality better than a computer-generated film? But having seen the quality of the new clips (such as the one below), we think theyve done a pretty good job! What do you think? Is CGI a good move for the hazard perception test?
