Towing, Cargo and Passengers

The essentials

This topic includes towing vehicles, loading and carrying cargo, and the safe transport of passengers. The main goal is to understand how to prevent loss of visibility, stability and overall road safety.

What to remember

When towing or carrying cargo or passengers, the vehicle’s dimensions, mass, visibility and controllability must not become a source of danger. Cargo must be secured, must not cover number plates, lights or the driver’s field of view, and must not impair stability. Passengers must occupy places intended for them, and the towing method must match the technical condition of both vehicles and the restrictions of the rules.
