What are Road Hazards?
Road hazards can be defined as debris on the road surface, like nails, rock, wood, glass, tree limb, tree branch, and so forth that may be encountered while driving. Road hazards also constitute road surface conditions, including potholes, cracks, breaks, gravel, rough roads, bumpy edges, and more. Any of these can puncture or cause a flat tire.
