The Hazard of Unsecured Tarpaulin Covers

Many Indian trucks carry goods covered with loosely tied tarpaulins. At high speeds or during strong winds, these covers flap dangerously or come undone, obstructing visibility for other drivers. In some cases, the covers get entangled in wheels or fly onto nearby vehicles, triggering accidents. Proper tarpaulin fastening techniques, enforced by regulation and driver training, can help prevent such unpredictable hazards on highways.
