The
Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has developed a modular,
multi-media training resource for the hazard perception
test. The resource is available in DVD and VHS video format
and is called The official guide to hazard perception;
this was formerly known as Roadsense.
This
training resource adopts a structured approach to defining
hazards, looking for clues, the mirror- signal- manoeuvre
routine, scanning and planning, prioritising, cutting
down the risks and responding to hazards. The DVD also
has a number of interactive, example hazard perception
video clips.
The
hazard perception training material has been developed,
not as a teach yourself product, but as one where guidance
from a professional trainer is essential.
Integrating
theoretical hazard perception training into the practical
training sessions will ensure that as competence is achieved
in each of the necessary skills, they can be strengthened
and applied while you are on the road to increase the
road safety benefits.
All
of these products are available to buy from most high
street book shops, they are also available to order over
the phone and online through The Stationery Office.
