You’re driving past a line of parked cars. What should you do if a ball suddenly bounces out into the road ahead?

Explanation: If a ball bounces out from the pavement, slow down and be ready to stop. Don't encourage anyone to step into the road to retrieve it, as other road users might not have seen the situation and may be unable to stop if someone steps into the road.
