take a practice hazard perception test on an educational platform set up by the Directorate-General of Highways (DGH), the highway authority said yesterday.
“The hazard perception test is only so that test takers can practice. A score on the practice test is not needed to schedule an appointment for a motorcycle license test,” Motor Vehicle Section Deputy Director Wei Wu-sheng (魏武盛) said.
However, materials covered in the practice test are to be included in a mandatory two-hour traffic safety lecture that each test taker must attend before taking the written part of the license test, Wei said.
The online platform has 20 30-second videos that test 11 aspects of road hazard perception, such as failure to keep a safe following distance, not following traffic signs and signals, and not heeding situations ahead, Wei said. [FULL STORY]
