Theory & Hazard Perception Test DVSA ADI Part 1

Theory & Hazard Perception Test DVSA ADI Part 1

DVSA ADI Part 1 consists of two elements:

• The Theory Test
• The Hazard Perception Test

Both elements must be passed at the same time; failing either element means that the whole test has to be retaken.

The Theory Test consists of 100 multiple choice questions on a variety of topics, including:

• Road Procedure
• Traffic Signs & Signals
• Pedestrians
• Car Control
• Mechanical Knowledge
• Law
• Driving Test
• Disabilities
• Instructional Techniques
• Publications

The Hazard Perception Test consists of 14 video clips featuring 15 scorable hazards which must be identified

The Hazard Perception Test is not a test of your reaction time, it is a test of anticipation.

The earlier each hazard is identified the higher the score.

Thorough preparation for ADI Part 1 will help with your subsequent qualification and your role as a driving instructor:

• A sound theoretical knowledge will help your own driving, and therefore help with the ADI Part 2 Test Of Driving Ability.
• The ADI Part 3 Test Of Instructional Ability is assessing you as a teacher, any weaknesses in subject knowledge could affect the result.
• Teaching real people needs expert knowledge of your subject, clients need to understand your explanations, and clients can ask what can seem like difficult questions, unless your knowledge is good.
