BDifficulty 2/5

When leaving the driving position after stopping or parking a motor vehicle on a significant slope, above what maximum authorised mass does the additional duty to secure it with suitable chocks or the prescribed position of a steered road wheel against a kerb apply?

Correct answer

Vehicles over 3500 kg M.A.M.

To vehicles with a maximum authorised mass over 3,500 kg; also to buses and vehicle combinations even below that threshold. This supplements the applicable engine, parking-brake and gear precautions. Use purpose-made chocks, never stones, or position a steered road wheel against the kerb as prescribed. Remove chocks from the road when setting off again.
