Should I park in 1st or reverse?

If the front of your car is facing downhill, you'll want to put your car into reverse to stop it from rolling forward. Conversely, if you're facing uphill, selecting a forward gear will help prevent it rolling backwards.


Can I get a ticket for parking too close to a driveway?

Even parking too close to a driveway is enough to get a ticket (but not a tow). In most places, you can't be within a few feet of one. And that includes parking too close to your own driveway, too! Contact your local government to learn about the specific rules in your area.
