All the drivers in my office had to do a hazard perception test which took about an hour. Is it the same one?

We did it in WTL, took about 40 mins, hazard perception pics, and a general chat about driving. Nowt to worry about.

One DO near ours is paying for drivers to do it on SA. Needless to say, our lot haven't even started doing it until they get offered the same.................poor show yet again by RM to test their own drivers at no cost to themselves...

well it should either be done in duty time or SA
however only in overtime if the driver can and is willing to

They took me off IPS to do it over a period of days. Wasn't easy as I was sitting in the managers office and was constantly interrupted by them coming in and out, talking etc etc. Would agree with earlier poster about noting down the multi choice answers then you can return and redo the ones you got wrong. If you score medium or low risk this is OK. If you score high risk it might be back to the drawing board.

Made sure I got high risk over a year ago. Manager finished it off for me and I am still on driving duties.

Have been driving over 40 years and never had an accident or made a claim.

If it's good enough for my insurance company it should be good enough for Royal Mail.
