Which action is recommended when you notice debris on the road?

Changing to the left lane, if safe to do so, is the most recommended action when you notice debris on the road. This approach allows you to avoid potential hazards that the debris poses, which can include puncturing a tire, damaging your vehicle, or losing control if you hit the debris unexpectedly. By moving to another lane, you maintain control of your vehicle and create a safer environment for both yourself and other drivers.

Remaining in your lane while ignoring the debris could lead to an unsafe situation. Using your horn to alert other drivers doesn’t remove the hazard and may create confusion. Driving over the debris cautiously can still lead to accidents or vehicle damage, making it a less advisable option. Thus, safely changing lanes is an effective and proactive way to navigate around road debris.
