Correct answer
Keep the parked vehicle stationary.
Keep the parked vehicle stationary, as described by the parking-brake function in article 12.8.1 of the Vehicle Regulations. Not every system necessarily acts on the rear wheels or is operated with the right hand: design and controls depend on the vehicle. Follow manufacturer instructions for use and any emergency function it provides.
