What should be done if a load exceeds the permitted distance after being properly secured?

Remove the excess from the load
Notify local authorities
Attach a warning flag or light
Both A and C

The correct answer is: Both A and C

When a load exceeds the permitted distance after being secured, the best course of action is to both remove the excess from the load and attach a warning flag or light. Removing the excess ensures that the load complies with legal weight and size regulations, preventing potential safety hazards on the road. An overloaded vehicle can cause stability issues and increase the risk of accidents. Legal compliance is critical for both safety and liability reasons. Attaching a warning flag or light is essential when any part of the load extends beyond the designated limits. This is particularly important for safety, as it alerts other drivers to the presence of an extended load, reducing the risk of collisions. Taking both actions demonstrates a responsible approach to handling oversized loads. It reflects adherence to safety regulations and an understanding of the importance of keeping the roadways safe for all users.
