Question 836
When parking a 3,500 kg truck with a trailer on a downhill slope, if the driver does not have wheel chocks, they are required…
- To use natural objects as wheel chocks.
- To place one of the front wheels against the curb, turned away from the roadway.
- Only to leave first gear engaged.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: To place one of the front wheels against the curb, turned away from the roadway.
To secure the vehicle combination against movement without suitable wheel chocks, a front wheel must be placed against the curb. On a downhill slope, the wheel is turned toward the outside of the roadway.
