Is It Illegal If the Trunk Won't Close?
1 Answers
Driving with an unclosed trunk is considered a traffic violation. Here are the consequences of driving with an open trunk: 1. During braking or acceleration: Loaded goods may be thrown out of the vehicle, potentially causing property loss for the owner or, in severe cases, hitting following vehicles and triggering traffic accidents. 2. Items falling from the vehicle: This can create road debris, obstructing following vehicles and potentially causing traffic congestion. 3. On bumpy roads: The entire trunk lid may lift up, blocking the rear windshield and impairing the driver's visibility of rear traffic conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.
