ADI Part 1 Hazard Perception Pass your Test with 3 Clicks
ADI part 1 hazard perception Test - If you’re preparing for your ADI Part 1 Hazard Perception Test, chances are you’ve heard horror stories from other trainee instructors about clicking too early and missing the scoring window. You spot the hazard, you click once, you’re confident you’ve nailed it—only to find out you scored zero.
The truth is, spotting a developing hazard early is great, but if you only click once, you risk clicking before the DVSA scoring window has even started. That’s why we teach the 3-Click Method—a simple, proven way to boost your scores and massively increase your chances of passing the ADI Part 1 Hazard Perception Test.
Why 3 Clicks Work Better Than 1
The hazard perception clips work by awarding points based on how quickly you react after the hazard starts developing. The earlier you click within the scoring window, the higher your score (up to 5 points per hazard).
Here’s the catch: if you click too soon—before the scoring window opens—you’ll score nothing. That’s where most ADI trainees trip up.
The 3-Click Method solves this problem:
Click as soon as you spot the hazard developing.
(This ensures you’re sharp and ready.)Click again as the hazard becomes more obvious.
(This is usually when the scoring window is open.)Click once more when the hazard is unavoidable.
(This final safety click ensures you register a score even if you were slightly late before.)
By using three well-timed clicks, you massively reduce the risk of missing points. Instead of relying on one perfect click, you’re giving yourself three chances to hit the scoring zone.
The Big Advantage for ADI Theory
Remember, the ADI Theory Test is more demanding than the learner driver version. The ADI Part 1 Hazard Perception Test gives you more hazards to spot, and the DVSA expects higher accuracy from you as a professional instructor in training. That means your technique has to be sharper.
With the 3-Click Method, you’re:
Less likely to throw away marks by clicking too early.
More consistent across all 14 clips (with at least 15 scoreable hazards).
Building habits that help you teach future learners how to pass their own hazard perception test.
It’s a win-win.
