“Just a reminder to all farmers and contractors that loads must be sufficiently secure in case of an emergency stop or other unexpected hazard, and must not cause a danger or nuisance to others by the load falling from the vehicle.
“Risks with heavy bales must not be taken as they can, and do, cause serious injury or worse if they fall on a passing vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian.”
