Question about trailers

    So I'm on my way to work and the van in front of me has a trailer with bark and stones in it, the stuff in the trailer is heaped up in a pile so when the van hit a bumpy area and was doing over 80km/hour a number of things dropped out onto the road.

    One of them bounced and hit my window and has actually scrapped my window, given what he had in the trailer and it wasn't covered I'm curious is there anything to say this lad should have had the contents of the trailer covered since it was loose material?

    I'm fairly sure that there is an onus to ensure that the load is appropriately covered/secured to ensure that it does not post any risk to other road users. I don't have a specific piece of legislation though.

    Yeah I was thinking there has to be something, I've watched Police Stop on Sky enough over the years to see them pull over people if they have loose material in trailers/trucks that could be a danger. :)

    Just given thats in the Uk I wanted to see whats the deal in Ireland, just need to find the legislation now

    Any help from anyone is appreciated
