What should be done if a vehicle has an unstable load?

When dealing with an unstable load, the most appropriate action is to secure the load and redistribute weight. An unstable load can significantly affect the handling and safety of the vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents. By securing the load and ensuring that it is distributed evenly, you help to stabilize the vehicle, maintain control, and prevent the load from shifting during transit. This is critical for ensuring the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users.

Continuing to drive, even at reduced speeds, does not resolve the issue and could lead to dangerous situations such as the load shifting further or even causing the vehicle to tip over. Ignoring the problem altogether until reaching the destination is irresponsible and violates safety protocols that are essential for commercial driving. Lastly, increasing speed to stabilize a load is counterintuitive as it could exacerbate the instability and lead to loss of control over the vehicle. Addressing the issue of an unstable load promptly and effectively is essential for safe driving practices.
