Each clip has at least one developing hazard — something that would make you take action, like changing speed or direction. You get more marks for spotting it early, and you can lose the clip if you click in a pattern the system reads as cheating.

Watch the whole road: mirrors, pavements, junctions, and the vehicle that is about to pull out. One calm click as the hazard becomes real is better than a drum solo.
