C1Difficulty 3/5

In order to unload the lorry you are driving as quickly as possible, may you place the goods on the carriageway?

Correct answer

No, never.

Goods must not be deposited on the carriageway, shoulder or pedestrian areas during these operations. Loading and unloading must take place off the road; when doing so on the road is exceptionally unavoidable, observe stopping and parking rules and applicable local provisions without danger or serious disruption. Work, where possible, on the side nearest the carriageway edge, using sufficient means and avoiding unnecessary noise and inconvenience. Speed of unloading does not permit depositing goods in those spaces.
