If he sees a car waiting at a junction, that's a hazard as they may pull out.
a car parked in the road is a hazard.
A cyclist is a hazard.
someone opening their car door is a hazard.
seeing a sign which says slow means there will be a hazard coming up.
approaching a school.
etc etc etc..
Thats exactly what i was doing on my practice tests mate and got a no score for being too 'click happy' at first.
In theory all the above is correct as there all 'potential hazards'. You have to click when the above begin to 'develop' into a hazard. Its quite tricky and i didnt agree with a few of them and the time at which they saw it as a develping hazard. Thats why i say its often better to do a few clicks as it develops. He may be doing what i did at first and clicking too soon.
