Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. So that it does not cover the lights of the trailer.
Explanation
You place the load on a passenger car's trailer so that it does not cover the trailer lights - answer A. Placing it on one side (B) or always at the back (C) disturbs the stability of the combination: the trailer leans to one side or takes weight off the tow hitch, which makes the combination start to snake.
The Road Traffic Act requires that the load does not cover the lights, signalling devices and plates of the vehicle, does not disturb its stability and does not cause the permissible axle loads to be exceeded. You spread the weight evenly on both sides and over the trailer axle, with a slight downward pressure on the tow hitch, and you place tall items so that the rear lamps and the registration plate remain visible.
