Car written test: Hazard Perception Videos

This is the hazard perception video category: you watch a video of car driving, and the question asks what you should do after watching it. For example, when an oncoming car keeps its turn signal on without slowing as it approaches an intersection, or a motorcycle approaches an uncontrolled intersection from the side without slowing down, you should slow down first and then confirm it is safe or get ready to stop. The website does not host the videos; each question links to the Highway Bureau's video sharing page, and in the app you can download the videos to watch offline.
