What must you do to avoid endangering others by equipment or load which has fallen off your vehicle?

To avoid endangering others after losing equipment or load from your vehicle, it is essential to act promptly and responsibly. The correct steps include removing the fallen parts if it is safe to do so and securing the danger spot. This is important as it prevents further accidents or injuries caused by the fallen items. Additionally, informing road service or the police is crucial so they can address the situation properly and ensure that the road is safe for other users.

In German traffic law, this approach aligns with the responsibility of drivers to ensure public safety. By promptly addressing the hazard and notifying the appropriate authorities, you help maintain safe road conditions and comply with legal obligations. Failing to address these issues can lead to legal consequences and increased risks on the road.
