CDifficulty 3/5

The driver of a lorry with a MAM exceeding 3,500 kg must leave the driving position when parking on a steep upward slope with a kerb. If securing it by resting a steered wheel against the kerb instead of using chocks, which way should the wheels face?

Correct answer

Towards the centre of the road, with a steered wheel against the kerb.

Towards the centre of the road, with a steered wheel resting against the kerb. Article 92.3.d allows these vehicles on a significant slope to be secured with purpose-made chocks or this wheel support; it does not require both systems. Stop the engine, disconnect the starting system and apply the parking brake. Uphill, select first gear or the parking position where applicable. Do not use stones as chocks, and remove any chocks from the road when setting off.
