Correct answer

  • CApoyar una de las ruedas delanteras en el bordillo, orientada hacia el centro de la calzada.Rest one of the front wheels against the kerb, turned towards the centre of the carriageway.
Explanation

A vehicle combination parked on a noticeable slope must be secured with wheel chocks or by resting a steering wheel against the kerb, turned towards the centre of the carriageway if the slope is uphill (Article 92 of the General Traffic Regulations). Stones may not be used as chocks, and leaving the vehicle in gear is not enough.
