If you put things inside your
vehicle — like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything
else — they go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.

vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or

Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. Try to
spread the weight evenly.
