Vehicle loading
You have unhitched a loaded trailer and left it parked. How do you stop it rolling away?
- Leave it in the middle of the road
- Rest it against another car
- Balance it on its jockey wheel only
- Apply its parking brake and chock the wheelsCorrect
Why?
Rule 98 of The Highway Code requires a trailer to be roadworthy and controlled. When you leave a trailer uncoupled, apply its parking brake and use wheel chocks if needed, especially on a slope, so it cannot roll away and cause a hazard.
