Question: Cargo in a trunk should be:

Answer options:

• Loose ✅ Secured so it cannot shift in a crash
• Stacked high
• Placed on the rear shelf

Correct answer: Secured so it cannot shift in a crash

Explanation: Securing cargo in the trunk so it cannot shift is the correct practice because loose items can destabilize the vehicle during sudden maneuvers and become dangerous projectiles in a crash. Placing items on the rear shelf or stacking them high is unsafe because it blocks the driver’s rear view and increases the risk of flying debris during sudden braking. Official Ministry of Transportation guidelines mandate that all cargo must be properly secured to maintain vehicle control and protect occupants. On the G1 exam, remember that load safety questions always prioritize preventing distraction, maintaining visibility, and securing items against sudden physical movement.
