Correct answer

  • BDe forma que no arrastre, no pueda caerse ni desplazarse de forma peligrosa.So that it does not drag and cannot fall or shift dangerously.
Explanation

Article 14 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires the load to be arranged and secured so that it cannot drag, fall or shift dangerously. Materials that give off dust must be covered fully and effectively, not partly, and the load may never hide the lighting devices.
