Why must you know your vehicle’s height before driving a route?
- To avoid low bridges, overpasses and structures
- B To calculate fuel use
- C To set tire pressure
- D Height does not matter
Why: Knowing your overall height lets you avoid striking low bridges, overpasses, signs and building entrances.
A load that is too high raises which main risk?
- A Better fuel economy
- A higher centre of gravity and greater rollover risk
- C Lower stopping distance
- D Improved cornering
Why: A tall load raises the centre of gravity, making the vehicle more likely to roll over in curves or sudden manoeuvres.
How should cargo weight be distributed in a vehicle?
- A All at the very back
- B All on one side
- C It does not matter how it is placed
- Evenly and balanced, kept as low as practical
Why: Weight should be spread evenly side-to-side and kept low to keep the vehicle stable and within axle limits.
Cargo on an open deck must be:
- A Left loose so it can settle
- B Covered only if it is raining
- Properly secured so it cannot shift, fall or come loose
- D Stacked as high as possible
Why: Loads must be secured so they cannot shift, fall off or blow away. Unsecured loads are a serious hazard and an offence.
Who is legally responsible for ensuring a load is properly secured?
- The driver is responsible for the load on the vehicle they operate
- B Only the vehicle owner
- C Only the shipper
- D No one is responsible
Why: The driver is responsible for making sure the load on their vehicle is secure before and during the trip.
An overweight or improperly loaded vehicle can:
- A Stop more quickly
- Damage roads and reduce braking and steering control
- C Improve fuel economy
- D Have no safety impact
Why: Overloading strains tires, brakes and the structure, lengthens stopping distance and can damage road surfaces and bridges.
