Road hazard

Imagine you are playing with your toys and you see a Lego piece on the floor. If you step on the Lego, that hurts, right? Well, imagine that happening when you are driving a car on the road. A road hazard is something on the road that can cause damage to a car or make the driver swerve or lose control. Things like potholes, debris, or even animals in the road can be a hazard. It's important to pay attention to road signs and be careful when driving to avoid road hazards. The same way you need to be careful not to step on Legos, drivers need to be careful to avoid road hazards.
