What is the correct position of the eye of the coil when loaded in a suicide configuration?

In a suicide configuration, the coil's eye is positioned to the side. This positioning is crucial because it helps maintain stability and reduces the risk of shifting during transport. When the eye is at the side, it allows for a more secure fit with the load containment systems, such as straps or chains, effectively preventing slippage or movement.

This positioning also distributes the load evenly across the securing mechanisms, minimizing the likelihood of the load tipping or falling off during transit. Properly securing the load in this manner is vital for safety, as it helps ensure that the load remains stable and does not pose a hazard to the driver or other road users.
