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

Explanation: Beware of children playing in the street and running out into the road. If a ball bounces out from the pavement, slow down and be prepared to stop. Don't encourage anyone to retrieve it. Other road users may not see your signal and you might lead a child into a dangerous situation.
