- feature everyday road scenes
- contain at least one 바카라 사이트˜developing hazard바카라 사이트™ - but one of the clips features 2 developing hazards
You get points for spotting the developing hazards as soon as they start to happen.
What a 바카라 사이트˜developing hazard바카라 사이트™ is
A developing hazard is something that would cause you to take action, like changing speed or direction.
Example
A car is parked at the side of the road and is not doing anything. It would not cause you to take action, so it바카라 사이트™s not a developing hazard.
When you get closer, the car바카라 사이트™s right-hand indicator starts to flash and it starts to move away. You바카라 사이트™d need to slow down, so it바카라 사이트™s now a developing hazard.
How the scoring works
You can score up to 5 points for each developing hazard.
To get a high score, click the mouse as soon as you see the hazard starting to develop.
You do not lose points if you click and get it wrong. However, you will not score anything if you click continuously or in a pattern.
You only get one attempt at each clip. You cannot review or change your responses.
The pass mark for this part is 67 out of 100.

You바카라 사이트™ll be given a letter at the test centre with the results for the part of the theory test you바카라 사이트™ve just taken.
