Interior Ministry Warns: Overloading and Neglecting Truck Maintenance is a Road Hazard

The Ministry of the Interior has called on freight transport drivers to adhere to the declared cargo load, ensure it is covered and securely fastened, to prevent it from falling or causing accidents that threaten the safety of road users.

This came in an awareness video released by the ministry, which emphasized that exceeding the prescribed load poses a danger to the road and its users, stressing the necessity for transport vehicles to stay in their designated lanes and avoid overtaking or competing with other vehicles in adjacent lanes.

The ministry also underscored the importance of verifying tire condition, brake efficiency, and conducting regular vehicle maintenance, as neglecting these aspects can pose risks to road safety.
