Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
When parking a **heavy vehicle on a slope**, it is important to ensure that the vehicle does not move. To achieve this, drivers must follow certain rules:
- **It is not allowed to use stones or other natural elements** to secure the vehicle. This is because these elements are unreliable and can shift, which could cause the vehicle to move.
- Instead, **appropriate chocks** should be used. A chock is a wedge specifically designed to be placed between the vehicle and the road, ensuring that the vehicle remains in place.
- Another option is to **rest one of the front wheels on the curb**. Depending on the direction of the slope, the wheel should be tilted towards the center of the road or outwards to prevent the vehicle from moving.
These measures are essential to ensure safety and prevent accidents when parking on slopes.
