Correct answer
Cannot shift or compromise stability
Position the load and, when necessary, secure it so that it cannot fall, drag, move dangerously or compromise vehicle stability. It must not obscure lights, signs or number plates or prevent necessary visibility. Low weight does not remove the requirement to mark an overhang where applicable; resting it freely against a door does not replace safe positioning and securing.
