You are transporting furniture in a van. While taking a break you notice that a lashing strap is damaged. Under what condition may you continue driving?

You answered correctly. When a lashing strap used to secure a load is damaged, you are only allowed to continue driving if you either replace the damaged strap or use other suitable equipment to secure the load properly. Simply driving more slowly does not make it safe or legal, because unsecured or inadequately secured loads can still pose a danger at any speed. The law requires that the load must always be secured so that it cannot slip, tip over, or fall—even in the event of sudden braking or evasive maneuvers. This is why both replacing the strap and using other appropriate securing tools are correct solutions.
