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: nothing — a parked car pulling out into the lane (13.7 m away) is no hazard to your path; keep watching and carry on calmly.

Why learners get this wrong

• Unnecessary braking: a parked car pulling out into the lane is no (longer a) hazard to your path (13.7 m away). Braking without reason obstructs and surprises the traffic behind you.
• Not needed: a parked car pulling out into the lane poses no hazard to your path (13.7 m away). Carry on calmly and keep watching.
