For the road test, what happens if personal items are not secured?

If personal items are not secured during the road test, it can indeed lead to a failed test score. This is primarily due to safety concerns; unsecured items can become hazardous while the vehicle is moving, posing risks not only to the driver but also to the evaluator and other road users. For instance, if an item rolls around the cabin, it could distract the driver, interfere with the operation of the vehicle, or even cause an accident if it gets lodged under the pedals. Thus, ensuring that all items are properly secured is vital for maintaining a safe driving environment during the road test. It demonstrates a commitment to safety that is a fundamental aspect of responsible driving.
