Freezing rain: can a parked car slide down a driveway?
    #19306056 - 12/21/13 01:40 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I got home from work to find my driveway is sheer ice.

I emptied almost a whole bag of salt until I was able to get my car up it.  The place the car is parked is still on a slight angle.  I put the e-brake on and parked it, but I'm a little worried that maybe if the driveway re-freezes the car could slide back down on its own?  Seems unlikely but remotely possible....

What do you think?  Should I park my car on the street?

Yeah I might as well.  Already sent the landlord a text saying I used the rest of the salt just getting my car in the driveway, now he's gonna come home later and see I'm not even parked there :facepalm:

Oh well. Might as well be safe.  Kinda trippy parking on the street though because i won't be able to see my car where it's parked from my inside my place.  Won't know it's safe until tomorrow when I leave for work I guess.  Wish me luck

Don't park on the streets, you're not supposed to do that when they'll be using the plows.

Park in the driveway, angle your tires, and put something under your back tires like a peice of wood or a brick to keep it from sliding.

It's not snowing at all, there's no snow on the roads to plow.  Just freezing rain.  I dont have anything I could wedge under the tires or I would have done that.  And if I were to angle the tires and the car slid, it would slide right into a rather rickety wooden fence and potentially cause a fair bit of damage.

Wouldn't it be more likely to just freeze in place?

I've seen it happen multiple times. It's actually quite hilarious. What's the big deal if your car slides down the driveway it does? Or is there a car parked at the bottom?

If it slides down the driveway it ends up in the road which means it gets towed or crashed into.

Like I said earlier It will crash into a rickety wooden fence if i turn the wheels.

It's parked on the street now.  Hopefully it will be safe there.  Freezing rain is supposed to continue for a couple days though... ugh.

If it's that bad it won't get towed, and by the fact that you are actually worried about it. I am guessing it does happen that often, so you'll be ok.

If you have a small car and shitty tires, I wouldn't chance it. I drive a neon, that fucker slides whenever it feels like it. But that's what you get with an 850lb vehicle.

last year i drove thru a blizzard to get to a concert (Break Science with Michal Menert), so unbelievably dangerous and irresposible

a drive that shuda been an hour ended up being 2 and a half, but worth it...i was planning on staying at a homies house 5 minutes from the venue so all i had to do was get there, but it was a semi scary drive lol, but i made it fine
