Chock

AKA: Wheel Chock

WARNING:

Before releasing the parking brake, make sure your chock is firmly wedged between the ground and the tire and that the ground is solid enough to maintain the pressure of the vehicle. Loose or soft ground are not ideal surfaces for chocking wheels.

Never use a damaged chock, as it may not hold as expected, and the vehicle could roll away.

Information

To use, simply push it into position as pictured.
Make sure you place the chock on the side of the wheel that is in the direction the vehicle would roll if allowed to.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
