Question 636

Must vehicles transporting people and cargo at the same time have adequate protection?

  1. No, if the cargo is in the rear of the vehicle.
  2. Yes, so that the cargo does not disturb the occupants or cause harm if it is thrown forward.
  3. Transporting people and cargo at the same time is not permitted.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, so that the cargo does not disturb the occupants or cause harm if it is thrown forward.

The protection must prevent the load from inconveniencing or injuring occupants if it shifts or is thrown forward. It is therefore necessary when transporting people and cargo at the same time.
