PC Paul An experienced driver will click on the approaching hazard early enough anyway... someone with little experience might wait for the actual hazard to occur...

It's hard not to click once a second... I tend to fall into patterns with stuff like that. I'll see if I can try the half a second-second thing.

I've spend the last day trying to work out a pbutting strategy (having abandoned 'click when there's a hazard' as a definate failure... you either click far too early & miss it, or far too late as the hazard wasn't visible on the screen until after the window - bearing in mind that some of the scoring windows are less than a second long).

The best I've ever scored was based on 'click 2-3 times when anything happens on the screen' but you have to be careful not to trip the anti-cheat stuff on a busy clip. The country road stuff is usually OK with a strategy like that (except when I got a zero for not seeing a tractor that due to it being completely invisible until you're almost on top of it).

btw. the video quality is down to the player in the testing program - if I play the clips in media player they're almost watchable.. still blurry but not nearly so bad. I guess I could write my own training app... it'd be an all-nighter probably but TBH anything that gives me a cat in hells chance of pbutting is worth it.
