Section 44
Disposition versions
44. Operators must avoid overloading vehicles or, as the case may be, sleighs or trailers towed by vehicles, taking into account the vehicle’s braking capacity and the increased braking time that excess weight could cause.
Operators must ensure that loads are arranged and secured in a manner that prevents them from falling and that does not interfere with the stability and handling of the vehicle or endanger the safety of any passenger.
In addition, operators must ensure that any load that extends beyond the vehicle is indicated, both by day and by night, in a clearly visible manner.
In force: 2020-12-30
