Watch the muted ~5 s clip: you pass a bus stop in a built-up area. Tap HAZARD! the moment you see the hazard develop, then choose what you do at the frozen frame: brake, release the accelerator or nothing?
- ✓ Brake
- Release the accelerator
- Nothing
Correct answer: Brake
Explanation
Correct choice: brake — a bus pulling away from the stop (3.2 m away, ~4.0 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 bus pulling away from the stop — 3.2 m away, ~4.0 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 bus pulling away from the stop — 3.2 m away, ~4.0 s to contact, right in your path. You must brake.
