Question 1568
When parking a vehicle with a trailer on an uphill slope, what should you do if you do not have wheel chocks?
- Rest one of the front wheels against the curb, turned away from the roadway.
- Rest one of the front wheels against the curb, turned toward the center of the roadway.
- Use natural objects such as stones, pieces of wood, etc., as wheel chocks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rest one of the front wheels against the curb, turned toward the center of the roadway.
Without suitable wheel chocks, on an uphill slope you must rest a steering wheel against the curb and turn it toward the center of the roadway. Stones or other improvised objects may not be used instead of wheel chocks.
