Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 92(3)(d)) establish that a vehicle of more than 3,500 kg of maximum authorized mass, a bus or a combined vehicle that parks on a significant slope must be properly chocked, either with chocks or by resting one of the steered wheels against the curb of the sidewalk. If no chocks are available, a steered wheel is rested against the curb and, on upward slopes, the wheels are turned toward the center of the roadway, so that, if the brakes fail, the wheel stops against the curb and prevents the vehicle from rolling backward. On an upward slope first gear is left engaged (not reverse), and moreover, in a combined vehicle, chocking is mandatory, so leaving reverse gear as the only measure is not enough. And using stones or improvised objects is expressly prohibited: chocks must not be replaced by items not intended for that function.
