What is the best response for dealing with loads that fly off unsecured trucks?

About that car with no brakes

When RCMP officers picked 10 cars randomly for spot checks on the Trans-Canada Highway this week (see a video here), one of the cars turned out to be in supremely bad condition.

How so? The vehicle had no brakes to speak of.

Vote: What do you make of the findings of Wednesday's TCH spot-check?

This is the subject for today’s informal survey. Have a look at Carolyn’s piece from Here & Now, and then cast your vote.
