If you are hauling a load that could fall or blow onto the road, what must you do?

Secure the load with ropes
Ensure the load is covered with a close-fitting cover
Drive slowly to prevent the load from falling
Drive during night hours only

The correct answer is: Ensure the load is covered with a close-fitting cover

The correct action when transporting a load that could potentially fall or blow onto the road is to ensure that the load is covered with a close-fitting cover. This is essential for preventing debris from becoming a hazard to other vehicles on the road. By covering the load, you minimize the risk of items escaping during transit, which can lead to accidents or obstruct roadways, thereby increasing safety for all road users. While securing a load with ropes is a good practice as well, it does not address the specific concern of preventing items from blowing away or falling off during travel. Driving slowly may help reduce the impact of a loss of load, but it does not eliminate the risk associated with an unsecured or uncovered load. Additionally, driving only during night hours does not mitigate the risk of items falling or blowing off; it simply restricts the time frame in which the transport occurs without addressing the underlying issue.
