Is it advisable to carry loose objects on the rear parcel shelf?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
It is not advisable to carry loose objects on the rear shelf of the vehicle for several reasons:
- **Safety**: Loose objects can move inside the vehicle in the event of a sudden stop or a collision. This can cause injuries to the vehicle's occupants or interfere with safe driving.
- **Vehicle stability**: The load must be well distributed and secured so as not to affect the vehicle's stability. Loose objects can destabilize the vehicle, especially if they move during the journey.
- **Visibility**: Objects on the rear shelf can obstruct the driver's visibility, which is crucial for safe driving. It is important for the driver to have a clear view of the road and the rearview mirrors.
- **Regulations**: It is prohibited for loads to move inside the vehicle. Objects must be placed in the trunk or properly secured to prevent them from shifting.
For these reasons, carrying loose objects on the rear shelf is completely discouraged.
