ACT Hazard Perception Test

Prepare to recognise risk early

The HPT looks at how you respond to developing traffic situations. Preparation starts with watching the road actively on every drive.

The skill

What hazard perception means

Hazard perception is spotting a possible conflict early, anticipating how it could develop, and choosing a safe response. Think of pedestrians near a crossing, a car waiting to turn, a cyclist beside parked cars, or a gap closing at an intersection.
