A smartphone, an umbrella and other murder weapons in your car The cargo needs to be placed correctly not only for the convenience of passengers, but also for safety: weight distribution of the car along the axles, visibility from the driver's seat and much more should be considered before loading the car.
And it is also important that during emergency braking, the contents of the trunk do not rush into the cabin, injuring everyone in their path.
How to place cargo in a car:
1. Your luggage should be as organized as possible. That is, things are stacked in bags, suitcases, baskets, packages, and not scattered in bulk in the trunk and interior. Travel bags are more practical. They allow seals, they are easier to stack. Suitcases are heavier and take up a lot of space. A large suitcase also provokes taking with you more things, often not even needed.
2. First of all, they stack the most massive and oversized bags, which are placed in the middle of the trunk, right next to the back of the rear seat.
The most massive things are placed in the center, supporting them from the sides with smaller ones. The most massive things are placed in the center, supporting them from the sides with smaller ones.
So it is not worth placing suitcases. It is advisable to lay them flat. So it is not worth placing suitcases. It is advisable to lay them flat.
3. The rest of the bags and packages are placed so that, if possible, they become disputed between the bulky cargo and the sides of the luggage compartment, preventing them from moving around the trunk.
4. It is very desirable to fix the luggage with a special net so that it lays tightly with a single mass. The accessory in the form of a grid is offered by all authorized dealers. Reliable luggage fixation is simply necessary if your route runs along poor roads or involves going to a country road.
5. Adhere to a single principle of styling - the hardest down in the center, and still preferably in front of the rear axle of the car, that is, inside the wheelbase. This will reduce the center of mass of the machine and improve axle weight distribution. The first will reduce the risk of tipping over, and the second will reduce the chances of skidding the rear axle in a corner.
Successful placement of cargo. The suitcase lies in the center and is fixed with corners on the "burdocks". Successful placement of cargo. The suitcase lies in the center and is fixed with corners on the "burdocks".
In an upright position, the suitcase is unstable, in the right turn it will fall and will wander around the trunk. In an upright position, the suitcase is unstable, in the right turn it will fall and will wander around the trunk.
6. Do not overload the vehicle. Overload leads to increased wear of the suspension and transmission parts, as well as additional fuel consumption. But most importantly, it can change the behavior of the machine, increase the braking distance and the risk of tipping over.

Typically, such a recommendation is on a special sticker indicating the correct tire pressure. Car manufacturers place it on the central pillar of the body on the left side or on the inside of the fuel tank flap. These measures will save fuel and reduce tire wear.
8. Do not put heavy objects on a shelf behind the rear seat (if it is a sedan) or on the curtain (hard cover) of the luggage compartment, if it is a car with a two-volume body. When braking abruptly, these objects can injure people in the cabin. In addition, they restrict the driver's view back.
9. Place long loads, such as masts and surfboards, on the roof. Fix them along the central axis of the car, finding a stable position for them. It is important that the incoming air flow in front of the ride meets minimal resistance.
10. Do not forget to take into account items on the roof in the total mass of the cargo you are transporting: it should not exceed the total mass declared by the manufacturer of your specific vehicle.
Correct placement of long meters on the trunk. The load is located in the center and occupies a stable position on the crossbars. Correct placement of long meters on the trunk. The load is located in the center and occupies a stable position on the crossbars.

By the way, improperly placed cargo or its excess weight not only affects your safety, but also threatens the driver with an administrative penalty - a fine of 500 rubles. This is what traffic regulations warn:
paragraph 23.1. The mass of the transported cargo and the load distribution along the axles must not exceed the values established by the manufacturer for this vehicle.
Section 23.2. Before starting and while driving, the driver is obliged to control the placement, securing and condition of the cargo in order to avoid its fall, creating interference with the movement.
paragraph 23.3. Carriage of goods is allowed provided that it:
- does not limit the driver to a review; does not impede management and does not violate the stability of the vehicle;
- it does not block external light devices and retroreflectors, registration and identification marks, and also does not interfere with the perception of signals transmitted by hand;
- does not make noise, does not dust, does not pollute the road and the environment.
If the condition and placement of the goods do not meet the specified requirements, the driver must take measures to eliminate violations of the listed transportation rules or stop further movement.
