Question 7258
If you park a passenger car with a light trailer on a steep grade, you must...
- place wheel chocks or rest the steered wheels against the curb.
- chock the trailer with a stone or a similar object.
- apply the parking brake and leave the transmission in neutral.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: place wheel chocks or rest the steered wheels against the curb.
A passenger car with a trailer, even a light trailer, is a combination of vehicles. On a significant slope, it must be secured against rolling with wheel chocks or with the front wheels against the curb. A stone is not an acceptable wheel chock, and on a slope, applying the brake with the transmission in neutral is not enough.
