Section 4.8 - Roof racks and roof boxes

If you use a roof rack or roof box, you must :

securely fit it to your vehicle,

make sure that the load does not block your view of the road in any direction,

never overload it,

never place the load in a way that might cause it to fall off, and

never load the rack or box in a way that would destabilise your vehicle.

To be safe, you should check that the roof rack or box is correctly mounted and the load is completely secured before you set off. These checks also apply if you are using a rear or roof-mounted bicycle rack.
