Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: remove it as soon as possible and, in the meantime, take the necessary measures to warn other road users and to keep traffic from being obstructed.
If your load falls onto the roadway, you must remove it as soon as possible. In the meantime, mark it with the hazard lights and the V-16 so that others see it in time, and try to keep obstruction to a minimum. You must not continue driving and leave it there, or block traffic on your own authority.
