What can happen if load distribution is not followed correctly?

If load distribution is not followed correctly, the vehicle may become unstable. Proper load distribution is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's balance and handling characteristics. When a load is unevenly distributed, it can shift the center of gravity, potentially leading to a higher risk of tipping or rolling over, especially during turns or evasive maneuvers. This instability can make it difficult to control the vehicle, increasing the chances of accidents or mechanical failures.

In contrast, while better load distribution can indeed lead to improved fuel economy and optimal cargo space, such benefits depend on adhering to proper weight distribution guidelines. Ignoring these guidelines can negate any potential advantages. Additionally, claiming that there are no consequences for improper load distribution completely overlooks the significant safety risks involved, as it can directly impact the vehicle's performance and safety on the road.
