You will haul loose branches and bags of leaves in the open bed of a pickup truck on a short trip across town. What must you do before you leave?
Correct answer: Tie down or cover the load so that nothing can slide, fall, sift or blow out
Why
Driving with an unsecured load is illegal and dangerous: a driver who does not secure a load commits a misdemeanor and can be made to pay for the cleanup. If something falls from your vehicle and blocks or endangers traffic, the law requires you to make every reasonable effort to clear the road. Before you leave, ask what would happen to the load in a sudden stop, and whether you would feel safe driving behind your own vehicle.
