Do YOU notice anything unusual in this video? If not, you might suffer from inattentional blindness
For many of us, hazard perception was one of the more fun and less nerve-wracking parts of the driving test.

Researchers at New York University (NYU) have recreated the classic'invisible gorilla test' from over 20 years ago in an effort to understand our capabilities.
