The Hazard Perception Test Online is the same as the computer-based test you’ve always been able to take in-person. But with the HPTO there’s no appointment fee or booking required. And no need to visit a VicRoads Customer Service Centre to take the test - all that’s needed is a myVicRoads account, a compatible device with internet connection and you can take the test at home.
