What is Hazard Perception?
In driving language, hazard perception is
the ability to detect ‘what will happen next’ while driving through the road.
It is important because hazard perception creates an awareness for the driver
which, with proper training and practice can enhance a stronger awareness of the
road you are driving on.
For example, if you are driving on a quiet
suburb, you’ll automatically be aware of the surrounding. You’ll have to drive
carefully, constantly staying alert in case an adult walks by or children cross
the road. Anticipation is the key to a successful hazard perception driving.
Hazard perception is a compulsory test that
you’ll need to ace in order to apply for your P2 license. At Learner Drivers,
we cater this driving lessons as per your requirement.

driving, ensure you are fully aware of your surroundings. Adjust your speed
according to the situation. If you’re driving for the first time in a new
suburb, make sure you drive slowly.
One of the most important lessons while
driving in Sydney is to look out for the road signs.
The Road Signs
When you approach a road sign, you can
expect more from it. For example, if you’re approaching a roundabout, by now
you know what you may expect. Similarly, you’ll have to read in between the
signs. A pedestrian walking sign can mean any pedestrian, regardless of age,
can simply cross the road, because it’s their priority, and so on.
It’s always important to read the road
signs because it will help you detect what you may face ahead.
