RMS NSW Book Your HPT Online

The Hazard Perception Test (HPT) is part of the licensing process. To progress from a learner driver licence to a P1 licence, you need to first pass the HPT, then pass the driving test.

What is the HPT?

The HPT is a computer-based touch screen test that measures your ability to recognise potentially dangerous situations on the road and respond appropriately.

It aims to make sure learner drivers have enough hazard perception skills to progress to a P1 licence. The test questions and situations focus on the five most common crash types for NSW provisional drivers.

The test uses film clips of real traffic situations. In each clip, you’ll be asked to respond by touching the screen, for example when you would slow down, overtake, or turn at an intersection.

What is a Hazard?

A hazard is a possible source of danger that could lead to an incident. Safe drivers know how to spot them in time and take actions that will avoid incidents. Hazards can include pedestrians crossing the road, road works, broken-down vehicles and other cars stopping ahead of you or entering from side roads.

When to Take the Test?

Once you’ve held your learner licence for at least 10 months, you can attempt the HPT. However you should not feel under any pressure to attempt the test immediately.

You should only attempt the HPT when you have sufficient driving experience, have carefully studied the Hazard Perception Handbook and applied the information to your driving. You can continue to drive on your learner licence for as long as you need, provided you pass a Driver Knowledge Test and pay the test and licence fees.

How to Book?

When you’re ready to take the test, you’ll need to make a booking and pay the test fee. You can book online, by phoning 13 22 13, or in person at any registry or service centre.
