Question 7255
To park a passenger car with a trailer, must you use wheel chocks if you have them?
- No, since the only vehicles required to do so are buses and vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) over 3,500 kg.
- Yes, when parking on a slope.
- Yes, always.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when parking on a slope.
A passenger car with a trailer is a combination of vehicles, so it must be secured against rolling when parked on a significant slope, just like buses and vehicles over 3,500 kg. This is not necessary on level ground. You may use wheel chocks or place a front wheel against the curb. In the image, the trailer's wheels have yellow chocks.
