Australia · Hazard perception test
Start with your state’s official material. NSW’s Hazard Perception Handbook is free, WA has free sample clips online, and Queensland gives you a practice test before the real one. Apps can add more clips to watch, but none is official, and Transport for NSW warns that third-party tests aren’t the same as its HPT. We checked prices and ratings in October 2026.
Transport for NSW says this is the way to prepare for its HPT. It explains how the clips work and gives handy guides like the 3-second gap and safe gaps for turning. Written for NSW, but the skills apply everywhere.

Real practice clips from the people who run the WA test. They tell you if you responded too early or too late. WA suggests using a computer, not a phone. Useful wherever you live, as a feel for the timing.

Once you’ve enrolled and paid, you can do the practice test as many times as you like before the real one. There’s no lock-out between attempts at the real test either.

The Hazard Perception Handbook isn’t a book of road rules. This one is. Worth having next to it if you’re in NSW. In other states, use your own state’s driver handbook.
