BDifficulty 2/5

When leaving your driving position after parking a vehicle over 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass on a substantial slope, which additional securing measure is valid?

Correct answer

Suitable chocks or the prescribed support of a steered wheel against the kerb.

Purpose-made wheel chocks or a steered wheel supported against the kerb in the prescribed orientation. This is additional to the parking brake and other applicable precautions. Do not use stones or improvised objects; remove chocks from the road when moving off. The rule also covers buses and vehicle combinations and does not require chocks exclusively when the kerb alternative is correctly used.
