    Abstract: The invention is a safety lock applied to a vehicle wheel during a road stop to prevent the vehicle from moving or being driven away during the stop. This safety lock would be applied to any tire on the vehicle by law enforcement or safety inspectors during the stop, the safety lock slid onto the tire from the outside of the tire, with friction enhanced chocks in front and in back of the tire, locking onto the tire to prevent the rotation of the tire, reducing the risk of injury or escape in the event an attempt is made to drive away during the road stop. It may also be used to secure a tire or wheel during maintenance or during an emergency roadside repair, the device compact enough to fit in the trunk of a car and light enough in weight to be carried by an average individual.
