Watch the muted ~5 s clip: you pass a parking bay. Tap HAZARD! the moment you see the hazard develop, then choose what you do at the frozen frame: brake, release the accelerator or nothing?

Explanation

Correct choice: brake — a parked car pulling out into the lane (2.2 m away, ~1.2 s to contact) is in your path; releasing the accelerator or doing nothing leaves too little room.

Why learners get this wrong

• Releasing the accelerator is not enough here: a parked car pulling out into the lane — 2.2 m away, ~1.2 s to contact. Only braking keeps you clear of the hazard (stop within the distance you can see to be clear).
• Doing nothing is dangerous here: a parked car pulling out into the lane — 2.2 m away, ~1.2 s to contact, right in your path. You must brake.
