WARNING WHEN LOADING
Many drivers sometimes neglect good practices, particularly when it comes to loading their vehicles. This is strictly regulated, and neglecting these rules can lead to penalties.
LOADING REGULATIONS
Article R.312-19 of the Highway Code stipulates that "all useful precautions must be taken to ensure that the loading of a vehicle cannot cause damage or danger."
RISKS OF FINES FOR IMPROPER LOADING
Improperly secured loading or loose luggage on the rear shelf can result in a fine of 68 euros. In addition, loading that extends more than three meters beyond the rear of the vehicle or trailer can cost up to 135 euros in fines.
OTHER ROAD SAFETY RULES
Carefully packing your luggage is just one of the many precautions you should take. Those heading to the beach should also remember to change their shoes before driving.
DRIVING AND SHOE CHOICE
Driving in unsuitable footwear, such as flip-flops, can lead to another fine. Article R412-6 of the Highway Code requires drivers to always be able to perform all necessary maneuvers without restriction.
