What should the driver do to secure the vehicle when changing a front nearside (left-hand side) wheel?

Correct Answer

Ensure that the vehicle cannot roll when jacked up.

Explanation: If a driver has to change a front nearside (left-hand side) wheel; make sure to do it in a safe place on level ground. Take care; wear high visibility vest/jacket; use a warning triangle and hazard warning lights as appropriate. The vehicle should be secured by applying the parking brake (hand brake); switching off the engine; engaging a low gear and using a wheel chock if necessary. If unfamiliar with how to change a wheel seek assistance from a competent person.
