Hazards Test (P-plates)

[Fyrefly]

Anything I should know? Did people pass theirs the first time around? I sit it this arvo. My driving instructor said it was the most stupidiest test on the planet, and if I pass by 1% to be happy.

[bilgia]

lol my bro did it last yr and got 54% which is the pass mark

[Matt89]

From what ive heard, theres a lot of guesswork involved

[abcat]

I got 60 something %. It's all guesswork, you just gotta know when to click, cause if you see the hazard early, and click, you get it wrong for some stupid reason. I killed two people in my test too!!

Your driving instructor usually gives you the answers. How come you guys didn't get the test as soon as you were 18! I got my licence the day after I was able to, I was that pumped

@ least he passed I spose. I'm glad to know the pass mark is low, considering how poorly done every1 says it is.

woohoo.. i had mine this morning. passed yay!
don't stress to much about it. The demo ones on the vicroads website are a great indication as to what to expect.

if you get a question showing you are following a tram.. watch its brake lights.. i nearly missed them haha.

now just the actual driving part in late march for me eek

[Fyrefly]

Thx, I'll watch out 4 that 1 Sabrina XD

My driving test is late March as well! I picked March 28, coz it's during my mid-semester break.

My hazards r @ 4.30... my Dad had betta not b late or I will murder him, lolz.

[sabrina]

same reason i picked the 25th of march lol and i still need to turn 18!
 
good luck Fyrefly and let us know how you went!

I got my licence on Wednesday and I did my hazards last Thursday. I think I got 60-something on the hazard test and ended up only losing 3 marks on my driving test, so if you do badly, know that there is little correlation between a good hazard test result and a good driving test result. I really don't know anyone who got in the 70s or higher for their hazards. Anyway, my advice is to try not to over analyse the scenarios (because that's what I did). Oh, and if you see children coming out at you, slow down.

[Fyrefly]

I passed, even tho I killed the motorcyclist, LOL.

That test was so stupid... and not indicative of wot you'd do in real life. I got a crappy screen too, and I didn't realise that wot I was looking @ were potholes until it was 2 late. I didn't catch your message b4 I left Eriny, but I saw the skool kids and such. Sabrina, I did get the tram question and when I saw it I was thinking 'Thank-you Sabrina' ^_^ I've been 18 4 ages, but my local branch is booked out until @ least March 18th anywayz.

I'm happy I passed!

LOL stupid motorcyclists, well done

i'll make sure to not ride any motorcycles then

[excal]

Heh...I got something like 87% or something. I'm told that the test is done in a way that the mean is around 75%...lol

I think, as a rule, most people pass hazards easily. It's that bloody drive test and all the instant fails that you gotta look out for. A friend of mine failed her drive test - even though she had the perfect drive. She just mounted the kerb turning into VicRoads...

[Fyrefly]

My friend failed as soon as she got in2 the car, coz her headphones were hanging out her shirt. They weren't even plugged into anything.

[sabrina]

Congrats Fyrefly! Lucky about the tram question lol

wow regarding your friend failing due to the headphones. That's so harsh.

Question about the actual test: Do they test all the parking (and point to point reversing) techniques or do they randomly kinda pick as they go and test only 1 or 2?

[excal]

iirc, they test one park and one low speed manoeuver.
