Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish that, when parking a vehicle of more than 3,500 kg maximum authorized mass (MAM) on a noticeable slope, the driver must take additional safety measures. On uphill slopes, it is mandatory to apply the parking brake, leave first gear (forward) engaged and place suitable regulation chocks. It is strictly prohibited to use natural items such as stones, pieces of wood or bricks. The option of engaging reverse is only correct when the slope is downhill.
