Ideally you should be as close as possible to the curb when you finish parking, just to lessen the chances that your car won't accidentally get hit or scraped by cars driving too close to you on the side of the road. However, 12-18 inches is usually a safe distance away from the curb.

Should airbags deploy if you hit a curb?

Generally no. The speed at which something is hit has a lot to do with it but also whether or not the object that is stuck moves at all. The curb is usually not high enough to cause the car to remain in contact with it. The car jumps the curb. The speed can be as low as 15 MPH to get an airbag to deploy if something like a sold wall is struck.


How much space should be allotted to park your vehicle parallel to the curb?

In the U.S. the law varies from state to state, in Oregon you must park no further than 12 inches from the curb. Some states allow as much as 18 inches. Ideally for safety, I tell drive students to be about 6 inches from the curb, there is less chance a passing vehicle will hit your car.


If you hit a curb and your car is damaged can you claim insurance?
