Is it permitted to transport a freight container while few of its twist locks are not secured?
- Correct answer: Absolutely not.
- Yes, but only when transporting short containers.
- Yes, but only with the approval of a police officer.
- Yes, when transporting a 40 feet container.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Absolutely not.
A freight container is fixed to the vehicle by twist locks, so all of them must be locked before driving. A lock that is not secured weakens the fastening and increases the risk that the container will shift or fall while driving. So transport is prohibited regardless of the container's size, and a police officer cannot permit it.
