BDifficulty 2/5

You park your vehicle, fitted with a manual gearbox, on a downhill slope. Which gear should you leave engaged?

Correct answer

Reverse gear.

Leave reverse engaged and apply the parking brake. When a vehicle over 3,500 kg, a bus or a combination parks on a significant slope, Article 92 additionally requires suitable wheel chocks or a steered road wheel supported against the kerb in the prescribed manner. In that case this is mandatory, not merely recommended. Do not use stones as chocks.
