Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · WA licence rules

What do you actually do during the WA hazard perception test?

The answer

  • Describe hazards aloud to an assessor
  • Drive a simulator with pedals and a wheel
  • Answer multiple-choice questions about hazards
  • Click to indicate when it is safe to begin a manoeuvre or to act to reduce the risk of a crash Correct

Why that's the answer

The HPT is computer-based and shows various traffic situations. You use the mouse to click to indicate when it is safe to begin a manoeuvre, or to take action to reduce the risk of an accident. It tests judgment and timing, not rule recall.
