9 Loads transported by vehicles to be secured

• A person operating a motor vehicle on a road, and any person loading that vehicle, must ensure that any load carried in or on the vehicle, or in or on a vehicle being towed by the vehicle driven by the operator, is secured and contained in such a manner that it cannot fall or escape from the vehicle.

  Compare: 1962 No 135 s 70(1)

  Section 9 was amended, as from 22 June 2005, by section 8 Land Transport Amendment Act 2005 (2005 No 77) by inserting the words “, and any person loading that vehicle,” after the words “on a road”. See sections 96 to 100 of that Act as to the transitional and savings provisions.
