How should you transport cargo in a trailer pulled by a passenger car?

Description

Art. 61 para. 2 pt. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: The cargo cannot have any effects on the stability of the vehicle.

The load in a trailer should be distributed evenly, placing the heaviest items as low as possible and close to the trailer's axle. This ensures the stability of the entire vehicle combination and the correct pressure on the tow hitch. According to Art. 61 of the Road Traffic Act, the load must not compromise the vehicle's stability and must be secured against changing its position.
