You are driving on a motorway when you see this sign ahead: a blue rectangular sign showing a white telephone symbol and the word 'Emergency'. At the same time, you notice a large piece of debris lying in the left-hand lane. What should you do?

Explanation

According to the Highway Code Rule 280, if you see an obstruction on a motorway you must not attempt to remove it yourself. You should continue to the next emergency telephone, which is indicated by a blue sign with a white telephone symbol, and call for help so trained personnel can deal with it safely. Stopping in a live lane, crossing the carriageway, or attempting to remove the debris yourself is extremely dangerous and prohibited.
