Vehicle loading

You are tying down a load. What should you use to secure it?

Straps or ropes in good condition
Correct
An old rope that is frayed and worn
A single loose bungee cord
Nothing, if the load feels heavy enough

Why?

Rule 98 of The Highway Code says a load must be secured so it cannot move or fall off. Use strong straps or ropes in good condition; frayed or worn ropes can snap and let the load shift or fall into the road, endangering others.
