Ch. 7 · Expressway

It was nighttime with little traffic, so when cargo fell onto the main lane of the expressway, I decided to pick it up myself and return it to my vehicle.

[True / False · Medium]

Hikari

There's barely any traffic at night, so it should be safe to just hop out and grab it real quick, right?

Yui

Actually, that's false — you should never try to pick it up yourself on an expressway. Even at night, it's super dangerous because cars are moving fast.

Hikari

Oh wow, so what am I supposed to do then?

Yui

Call 110 and use the emergency phone to get help removing it. Your safety comes first!
