You haul branches and loose grass clippings in the open bed of a pickup for a 3-mile trip on city streets. What must you do before you drive?
Blue pickup A stands before a trip with an open bed holding loose green grass clippings and thin branches. No rope, net, tarp, speed instruction or selected containment method appears.
Correct answer: Tie it down or cover it with a tarp, so that nothing can fall or blow out
Why
Items that fall from a vehicle become road hazards that other drivers may hit or swerve to avoid. South Dakota law forbids driving a vehicle that is loaded so that its contents can drop, sift, leak or escape, and a driver who causes a crash with an unsecured load can face a fine and jail time. Check the load again before you go, and do not overload the vehicle or trailer.
