Which of the following rules should you apply when placing or fastening a load in a lorry?
Explanation
Correct answer: The center of gravity of the whole load should be as close as possible to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
Placing the load's centre of gravity as close as possible to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle ensures its maximum stability and an even pressure on the wheels. This placement prevents the vehicle from tilting dangerously to the sides, which is crucial for safety, especially when cornering and performing sudden manoeuvres.
