When parking on an uphill slope, what safety measure is mandatory to ensure the vehicle remains immobilized?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When parking on an uphill slope, it is mandatory to apply the parking brake. Additionally, in vehicles with a manual gearbox, first gear (the lowest gear) must be engaged to utilize engine braking and prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. The 'reverse gear' option is incorrect (used for downhill slopes), and 'resting the wheel on the curb' is a supplementary measure but does not replace the need for the brake or the gear.
