What must you remember when loading a trailer?

When loading a trailer, it's crucial to ensure that the load is securely packed to prevent any shifting while driving. This is important for your safety and the safety of other road users, as an unstable load can lead to accidents.

Additionally, German traffic regulations stipulate that any load on a trailer must not project more than 1 meter beyond the rear reflectors unless it is clearly marked. This marking helps to alert other drivers to the extended load, reducing the risk of collisions.

It's also important to note that loads should not project beyond the front of the towing vehicle. This is to ensure that the trailer does not interfere with the visibility or maneuverability of the towing vehicle, maintaining safe driving conditions.

In summary, both securely packing the load and adhering to the projection limits are essential for safe and legal towing in Germany.
