How does the centre of gravity of a load affect the method of securing the load?
Explanation
Correct answer: The high centre of gravity of the load may require the use of additional techniques to secure the load.
A load with a high centre of gravity is less stable and more susceptible to the effects of centrifugal forces on bends and inertial forces during braking. This increases the risk of the load shifting or overturning, which poses a direct hazard on the road. Therefore, to ensure stability during transport, such a load requires the use of additional or stronger securing methods.
