Revision question · Vehicle loading

You're covering a load using more than one sheet. Why should you start with the rearmost sheet, then work forwards?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

To stop you tripping when walking on the load

To stop wind and rain from getting under the sheets

To make it much easier to fold up the sheets

To make it easier to carry longer loads

To stop wind and rain from getting under the sheetsThis was the right answer

If the load is sheeted incorrectly, the wind may get underneath a sheet, making it flap about. This is dangerous, as it can catch unsuspecting pedestrians or cyclists, and it can also seriously reduce the driver's view of what's happening behind.
