The major danger of being top-heavy with cargo is:
  1. It causes the vehicle to drive slower.
  2. It causes the vehicle to sag in the middle.
  3. It can lead to rollovers.
  4. It can block the view of drivers behind the vehicle.
Explanation
Answer: C - Being top heavy can lead to rollovers. This is especially true when top-heavy vehicles are on curves. Being top-heavy means the center of gravity is too high, usually the result of stacking cargo too high or of putting heavier cargo on the top of the stack. Drivers should place their cargo as low as possible, with the heaviest items on the bottom.
