OLYMPIA, Wash. — State agencies are reminding drivers to tarp it, tie it, or strap it in.
The Washington State Patrol and several other agencies throughout the state are reminding drivers that it’s “Secure Your Load” week.
They say unsecured loads lead to dangerous road conditions, environmentally damaging litter, injuries and deaths.
Violators could face fines up to $228.
If your load falls out of your vehicle and injures someone, that jumps to $5000 plus jail time.
