Correct answer

  • ASí, obligatoriamente.Yes, it is compulsory.
Explanation

When a vehicle with a MAM of more than 3,500 kg, a bus or a combination of vehicles stops or parks on a noticeable slope, the driver must leave it properly chocked, either by placing chocks or by resting one of the steering (front) wheels against the kerb, turned towards the centre of the carriageway on uphill slopes and outwards on downhill slopes. Natural objects such as stones or pieces of wood must not be used as chocks.
