Yes, parking lights should be installed on all vehicles, regardless of side lights.
No.
Yes, it is obligatory - in case the side lights malfunction.

16. According to the law, is there any significance to the manner in which the freight is arranged on the vehicle?

The load on the axles is not significant as long as the overall weight is within permitted levels.
Only the load on the rear axles should not exceed the permitted load according to traffic regulations.
Yes,it should be ensured that the freight is arranged and anchored to the vehicle so it doesn’t fall off.
