Cevap

Slow down and be prepared to stop immediately, anticipating that a child may follow the ball into the road.
Whenever a ball or toy rolls into the carriageway in a residential area, you must anticipate that an excited or distracted child may follow it immediately without checking for oncoming traffic. Reducing your speed and preparing to stop allows you to halt safely if a child emerges suddenly from behind parked cars.
