I think it made my driving worse. I remember after doing it, my instructor was asking why I was braking when I saw drivers roll into give way junctions ahead of me. Because in the hazard perception, they show you videos where people just go straight out!
I was taught if you see a hazard click as soon as you see it, then click again two more times. The reason being that these things are programmed by humans and when the programmer deems the hazard to be a hazard and when you deem the hazard to be a hazard may be slightly differently timed. Bit of a shit system really but I don’t really know how they could test it differently without a similar issue of tester and testee having different reaction times.
Yep, I did my test in 2004 and it was quite new at the time…I seem to remember there being complaints about how it wasn’t based in reality.

As a programmer I would have clicks within a given range of frames and these data points should be provided by the people facilitating the tests.
