Cargo is more likely to fall or scatter on expressways, so you must inspect it beforehand and take necessary measures.

[True / False · Easy]

Answer: ✓ True

Explanation

The Rules of the Road states under "(2) Check the Condition of Your Load" that "When traveling at high speed, cargo is more likely to fall or scatter. Before driving on an expressway, you must inspect your cargo to ensure it will not fall or scatter, and take necessary measures such as reloading."

Wait, don't we check cargo no matter what road we're on? Why is this expressway-specific?

Yui

Good question! At high speeds, cargo is way more likely to fly off or scatter. That's why the rules say you must inspect and secure it before entering an expressway—it's that serious.

Hikari

Oh, so speed makes everything riskier. Got it.

Yui

Exactly. High speed = high stakes. Double-check your load every time!
