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.
