Abstract

Hazard perception involves complex cognitive processes, including identifying and prioritising potential hazards and making timely decisions while driving. While widely used in Western countries, traditional hazard perception tests may not be as effective in regions with higher accident rates due to cultural and criterion biases. Recent research has shown that a variant of the hazard perception test, called the hazard prediction test, which assesses drivers’ ability to anticipate hazards, is less influenced by cultural biases and correlates with crash involvement. This suggests that the hazard prediction test could complement traditional methods, offering a more universally applicable tool for evaluating driver safety.
