Question 3797
When parking a vehicle with a trailer on an uphill slope, if you do not have wheel chocks, what must you do?
- Rest one of the front wheels against the curb, turned toward the center of the roadway.
- It is enough to leave the vehicle in reverse or first gear.
- Use natural items 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.
A passenger car towing a trailer is a vehicle combination. On a noticeable slope, it must have the parking brake applied, be left in gear, and also be chocked. If you do not have wheel chocks, rest a front wheel against the curb and, when facing uphill, turn it toward the center of the roadway. Leaving it in gear alone is not enough, and stones or pieces of wood are not acceptable wheel chocks.
