How should the tram driver behave, if he notices stones in the grooves of the rails?

Explanation

Correct answer: Remove the stones before driving through such section of the track.

Stones or other hard objects in the rail grooves can cause a wheel to lift, posing a risk of losing proper control of the vehicle on the tracks and consequently leading to its derailment. The primary duty of the tram driver is to ensure the safety of passengers and other road users; therefore, they must remove such a hazard before continuing to drive.
