Question 782

Must a driver who parks a vehicle combination consisting of a passenger car and a trailer leave it properly chocked?

  1. Yes, in all cases.
  2. No, because chocking is only mandatory for vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) over 3,500 kg and for buses.
  3. Only when parking on a significant slope.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only when parking on a significant slope.

When parking a passenger car with a trailer on a significant slope and leaving the driver's seat, you must take additional steps to secure it against movement, using suitable wheel chocks or placing a wheel against the curb as prescribed.
