As an example, of how to identify and respond to a developing hazard, consider a
parked vehicle on the side of the road. When you first see it, it is not doing anything;
it is just a parked vehicle. If you were to respond to the vehicle at this point,
you would not score any marks, but you would not lose any marks.

However, when you get closer to the vehicle, you notice that the car's right hand
indicator starts to flash. The indicator would lead you to believe that the driver
of the vehicle has an intention of moving away, therefore the hazard is now developing
and a response at this point would score marks. The indicator coming on is a sign
that the parked vehicle has changed its status from a potential hazard into a developing
hazard. When you get closer to the vehicle, you will probably see the vehicle start
to move away from the side of the road; another response should be made at this
point. Different clips in the test will have various signs to indicate that the
hazard is changing its status and is now starting to develop.
