Correct answer

  • CNo.No.
Explanation

The obligation to chock the vehicle when parking on a significant slope applies to vehicles with a maximum authorised mass of more than 3,500 kg, to buses and to vehicle combinations. A 3,500 kg lorry without a trailer is not obliged to, although it must leave the parking brake on and a gear engaged.
