The test was made up of filmed video clips which showed everyday road scenes.

Those clips were still relevant, but the image quality wasn鈥檛 as clear or defined as modern technology allows.

Differences in the new clips

The new clips show the same situations as the previous clips, but they:

• look clearer on the screen
• include updated vehicles, roads and surroundings so they look modern

No change to how the test works

The way that the hazard perception part of the theory test works hasn鈥檛 changed. The pass mark has stayed the same.

The clips:

• feature everyday road scenes
• contain at least one 鈥榙eveloping hazard鈥� - but one of the clips will feature 2 鈥榙eveloping hazards鈥�

A developing hazard is something that may result in you having to take some action, like changing speed or direction.

Watch this video to see an example of a CGI clip and to find out how the test works.

Learning materials still relevant

Any products that you鈥檝e been using to help you practise the hazard perception part of the test are still relevant.

You do not need to have practised with CGI clips in order to take and pass the test.

Updated clips trialled before being introduced

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) trialled the updated clips to make sure that learner drivers could use them without problems.

The trial was successful. It found that candidates who watched the new introduction clip about how the test works were more likely to spot the developing hazards.

The research, which was carried out with the , found that the updated clips are just as good as the traditional video-based test.

Developing clips in the future

By using CGI clips, DVSA can introduce clips in the future which show situations with vulnerable road users - like children, cyclists, and motorcyclists - without risk.
