3. The amendment to regulation 97 makes stricter provisions relating to loads carried by vehicles. Previously regulation 97(1) required a load to be so secured "that denger was not likely to be caused". The regulation has now been widened in scope to cover such cases sa dust and building debris falling of escaping from a vehicle,
