Erm I'd most likely secure it if possible and PRS if it was dangerous to other road users. Don't think I'd need to abandon/abort ivor, unless it was going to drop on me noggin

If abandon/abort is the correct answer our :admin didn't include the answer in the multiple guess answers.....naughty baz657

Otherwise, as it's not a testable item I wouldn't even give it a second glance.
