While driving through a mountain pass during rain, small pebbles and loose mud start falling continuously onto the road ahead. What should the driver do?
  1. Speed up quickly to cross the area under falling stones
  2. Stop immediately in a safe spot away from steep cliffs and alert others
  3. Honk loudly so the rocks stop falling
  4. Park directly under the cliff overhang for shelter

Solution

Trickling mud and small rocks are warning signs of an impending landslide; stopping at a safe distance prevents being buried.
