Hazzard perception

i stole this video from our friends at biker down. Worth a watch to see what you would do differently.

 

or ride faster so your already passed before any of these bad things happen

 

I had to do the hazard perception bit for my bike test & failed the "home test" a few times. Then I listened to the wording again & you are asked to spot the "developing" hazards & not the "potential" hazards.

Here`s an example.

Riding along & you see a hearse parked on the left, outside a house, on a slight right hand bend with is rear doors open but no-one around. This is, technically, a hazard BUT for the purpose of the test it ISN`T counted as its not developing. It becomes a developing hazard when the pall bearers come out of the house carrying a coffin as they will be assumed to be going to the rear of the hearse to load the coffin.

This is a slightly extreme example but you get the idea.

 

yer i was thinking he was about a week late spotting that hazzard

 

I used that as an example as its 1 that DID appear on my test.

 

It may seem that way but whos to say the "inhabitant" of the coffin got his new accommodation from a road related incident? As it was a video, I didn`t get the chance to stop & ask
