Why is it critical to ensure cargo does not obscure your view?

Ensuring that cargo does not obscure your view is vital for preventing accidents and ensuring safety on the road. When a driver's view is compromised, they may not be able to see other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles in their path, significantly increasing the risk of collisions. A clear line of sight is essential for making informed driving decisions, such as when to stop or change lanes, and for anticipating the actions of other road users. By maintaining visibility, drivers can react quickly to potential hazards, manage their space effectively, and operate their vehicles more safely, ultimately leading to fewer accidents and improved road safety for everyone. This principle is a fundamental part of safe commercial driving practices.
