A large box falls onto the road from a lorry

Driving Theory test question
You are on a motorway. A large box falls onto the road from a lorry. The lorry does not stop. You should
A) go to the next emergency telephone and report the hazard
C) stop close to the box until the police arrive
B) catch up with the lorry and try to get the driver’s attention
D) pull over to the hard shoulder, then remove the box

Answer: A
Explanation:
Lorry drivers can be unaware of objects falling from their vehicles. If you see something fall onto a motorway look to see if the driver pulls over. If they don’t stop, do not attempt to retrieve it yourself. Pull on to the hard shoulder near an emergency telephone and report the hazard. You will be connected to the police or a Highways Agency control centre.
