Correct answer
B. The load must not disturb the steerability of the vehicle.
Explanation
A load on a trailer pulled by a passenger car must be placed so that it does not disturb the stability of the vehicle - answer B. Covering the trailer lights (A) is prohibited, and the load must always be secured against changing position (C).
The Road Traffic Act requires that the load does not cause the permissible axle loads to be exceeded, does not disturb the stability of the vehicle, does not make driving difficult and does not cover the lights, registration plates or other markings. A trailer with its weight placed too high or too far back starts to make the whole combination sway already at 80 km/h and may overturn it. You put heavy items low down, over the trailer axle, and secure them with straps.
