Hazard perception is spotting a possible conflict early, anticipating how it could develop, and choosing a safe response. Think of pedestrians near a crossing, a car waiting to turn, a cyclist beside parked cars, or a gap closing at an intersection.

Check mirrors before changing speed or position
Watch for signs another road user may move
Keep enough space to respond smoothly
Don't rush a decision for an impatient driver
