If part of your vehicle’s load falls onto the road while driving, how must the driver mandatorily proceed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, any driver who creates an obstacle or danger on the road (such as falling load) is obliged to remove it as soon as possible. You must stop in a safe place (off the roadway and the drivable shoulder if possible), signal the obstacle to warn other users, and remove the load if doing so does not pose a risk. For signaling, the mandatory connected V-16 danger warning light device placed on the highest part of the vehicle must be used. Continuing to drive is a serious offense, and waiting for an accident to occur is negligent.
