Correct answer
Secure it by resting one of the steered wheels against the kerb and turning it away from the carriageway.
Rest a steered wheel against the kerb and turn the wheels away from the carriageway on a downhill slope. Turning towards the centre applies uphill. The prescribed kerb support is an alternative to purpose-made wheel chocks; stones and improvised objects are not allowed. When leaving the driving position, also apply the relevant engine-off, starting-system disconnection, parking-brake and manual reverse-gear measures, or the parking position where appropriate.
