Correct answer
With suitable wheel chocks or a steering wheel against the kerb, oriented for the gradient.
Use purpose-made wheel chocks or rest a steering wheel against the kerb. When using the kerb, turn the wheels towards the carriageway centre on an uphill gradient and outwards on a downhill gradient. Do not use stones or improvised objects as chocks. Apply the parking brake and select the appropriate gear or parking position; remove chocks from the road before moving off. Securing the wheels does not replace the other precautions.
