How will you place luggage in a passenger car?
Description
Art. 61 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act
Explanation
Correct answer: I will place the heaviest luggage deepest and lowest, in the central part of the boot.
The correct distribution of luggage has a crucial impact on the vehicle's stability. The heaviest items should be placed at the bottom of the boot, as low as possible and as close to the centre of the vehicle (axle) as possible. This ensures a low centre of gravity, which prevents loss of stability and makes steering easier, especially on bends.
