Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the General Traffic Regulations, when parking a heavy vehicle of more than 3,500 kg of maximum authorized mass on noticeable slopes, it is not enough merely to apply the handbrake and leave a gear engaged (first on uphill slopes or reverse on downhill ones). It is also essential to secure the vehicle by chocking it as required, either by using suitable chocks or by properly resting the steered wheels against the curb. For this reason, the option that includes all three preventive measures is the only correct one.
