From the key facts

  • Mountain roads: if vehicles of the same type cannot pass each other, the one travelling downhill reverses (VRV art. 38 para. 1).
  • Parking on a slope: apply the brake, engage the lowest gear or turn the wheels; on steep slopes and with tractor-trailer combinations use wheel chocks (VRV art. 22).

All key facts, the questions with explanations and the exam simulation are part of the course.
