Correct answer
Yes, using suitable chocks or supporting a steered wheel against the kerb in the specified position.
Yes. Article 92.3.d of the General Traffic Regulations requires this additional protection for a vehicle combination parked on a significant gradient. Use purpose-made chocks, or support a steered wheel against the kerb with the wheels turned away from the centre of the carriageway on a downhill slope. Do not use stones or improvised objects as chocks; remove the chocks from the road before moving off. These measures are additional to the parking brake and the applicable reverse gear or parking position.
