What is a developing hazard?
Developing hazard is something that may result in you having to take some action while driving your vehicle. The action can be for example changing your speed or direction.
What does "hazard perception CGI" mean? CGI comes from Computer-Generated Imagery. CGI clips replaced the old filmed hazard clips in the hazard perception part of the theory test on 13 Jan 2015. The reason why they changed filmed clips to CGI clips was that the image quality wasn’t clear enough.

A website which offers the official DVSA revision material (hazard perception test and multiple-choice questions) is of course your best choise because the questions are almost same as in the official test.
