Hazard Prediction Question Guide
How hazard-prediction questions on the honmen exam are scored, with a free worked example.
Hazard-prediction questions are illustrated scenarios that only appear on the honmen (full licence) written test. Each scene has 3 true/false questions, and you only score if you get all 3 right — one wrong answer scores zero.
How scoring works
- 90 true/false + 5 hazard-prediction questions
- Time limit: 50 minutes
- Pass: 90 or more out of 100
- 3 true/false questions per scene. All 3 correct scores 2 points; even one wrong scores 0

You are turning left at an intersection at 20 km/h. A bicycle is coming straight on behind you to your left, and there is a pedestrian near the crossing on the road you are turning into.
- (1) True — The bicycle behind on your left might carry straight on, so check your mirror and look over your shoulder, and turn only once you are sure you will not cut across it.
Crushing a cyclist on a left turn is a classic fatal accident. Always check over your shoulder. - (2) False — The cyclist will notice that you are turning left and will stop, so carry on and turn without slowing.
Assuming the other person will give way is dangerous. Assume instead that they have not seen you. - (3) True — A pedestrian may start to cross the crossing you are turning into, so go slowly enough to stop before it.
Pedestrians have priority on the crossing you turn into. Stop if anyone is about to cross.
