Q #411 - What should you do if you see a large box fall from a lorry onto the motorway?
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, don't attempt to retrieve the object yourself. Pull onto the hard shoulder near an emergency telephone and report the hazard.
| Go to the next emergency telephone and report the hazard | |
| Catch up with the lorry and try to get the driver's attention | |
| Stop close to the box until the police arrive | |
| Pull over to the hard shoulder, then remove the box |
