Correct answer
Apply the brake, select the stated gear and properly secure the vehicle with chocks or prescribed kerb support.
Apply the parking brake, select first gear uphill or reverse downhill and properly secure the vehicle with chocks or the prescribed kerb support. Use purpose-made chocks, not stones, or support a steered wheel against the kerb: wheels towards the carriageway centre uphill and outwards downhill. This lorry exceeds 3,500 kg and is on a noticeable slope, so the brake and gear alone are insufficient. Remove chocks from the road when moving off.
