Who is responsible for arranging the freight on the vehicle and ensuring that it is intact?
- The driver’s employer.
- Correct answer: Only the driver.
- The person loading the freight.
- The registered vehicle owner.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Only the driver.
The driver controls the vehicle on the road, so the law makes the driver alone responsible for making sure the load is properly arranged, tied down and secure. Even if someone else loaded it, or the owner or employer arranged the loading, the driver must check the load before setting off and during the trip. If it is not safe, the driver must not drive.
