Question 6404
The loading and unloading of a vehicle must be carried out...
- from the side of the vehicle that is most convenient.
- always on the shoulder.
- as a general rule, off the road.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: as a general rule, off the road.
As a general rule, you must load and unload off the road, for example in a garage or inside a building. You may only do it on the road when there is no alternative, without creating a hazard and, if possible, from the side closest to the edge of the roadway, not whichever side is most convenient. You are not required to use the shoulder, and you must not leave goods there either.
