Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. By securing it against displacement.
Explanation
In the photo there is a backpack strapped to the seat and the rack of a two-wheeler. You place a load carried on a moped so that it is secured against changing position - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act requires a load to be secured against changing position, and the devices used to fasten it - against coming loose, hanging down or falling off while riding. A load that shifts on a two-wheeler changes the centre of gravity and can throw you off balance, and a loose strap can get caught in the wheel. Covering the registration plate (answer A) and the rear sidelight (answer C) is forbidden - a load must not cover lights, signalling devices or plates. You fasten a backpack or bag low and close to the centre of the moped, preferably in a top box or on a rack, and check the fastening after a few minutes of riding.
