What types of hazards should a driver expect when passing a line of parked vehicles?

When passing a line of parked vehicles, a driver should be particularly alert for vehicles that may suddenly pull out into traffic. This is a common hazard because parked vehicles can obstruct the driver's view of the road and nearby traffic. Drivers of parked vehicles may not see oncoming traffic or may misjudge the speed of approaching vehicles, leading to unexpected movements. This unpredictability requires drivers to maintain a safe distance and be prepared for sudden changes.

While heavy traffic, construction work, and road damage can certainly pose hazards on the road, they are not directly associated with the specific scenario of passing parked vehicles. Heavy traffic typically involves a higher density of moving vehicles rather than stationary ones, construction work usually has designated signs and barriers which indicate hazards well in advance, and potholes or road damage are issues that may affect the overall road conditions, but do not directly relate to the immediate risk presented by parked vehicles.
