they put mirrors on cars you look in the mirror and back up and you can see
half a meter
sort of... If it is signposted as 'nose to kerb' parking then yes you can park nose to kerb. If it is not signposted with anything you must park parallel to the kerb in direction of traffic. Now don't ask me how you get parallel to a circle but apparently that's the rule. And I know as I and about 8 other residents just got TWO parking tickets for parking nose to kerb in an unmarked cul-de-sac.
Wheels toward the curb. What is a Kerb?^^^You aim the wheels toward the curb so that if your parking brake fails, the vehicle won't roll into traffic. It will roll into the curb and be stopped
In most countries that I have lived in or visited, the car must be parallel to the kerb (unless authorised signs allow for angled parking) Here in Australia the Road Safety Parking Regulations Act as applied from State to State require parallel parking on the passenger side kerb only (left) unless the road is a One Way street. Parking must be as close to the kerb as is practicable (it used to be 10 inches maximum but that got repealed) a reasonable distance from the kerb is defined as what the reasonable person would consider praticable. Angle parking is sign posted and either 45 or 90 degrees to the left hand kerb. In U.K. both sides of the road may be used during daylight hours but only the left (passenger) side after dark.

No you will get a parking ticket. :) lol
A white line on the kerb typically indicates a parking restriction or a designated parking area. It often signifies that parking is allowed, but specific rules may apply, such as time limits or permit requirements. In some areas, it may also indicate a no-parking zone. Always check local signage for specific regulations.
No, you cannot park across a drop kerb, as it obstructs access for vehicles, especially those with disabilities or needing to use the kerb for access. Parking there can lead to fines and may also hinder emergency services or other vehicles trying to navigate the area. Always check local regulations, as rules may vary by location.
Because of cars parking along the kerb, the bus driver had to double park to let some passengers off.
A homophone for kerb would be "curb" which means to restrain, as in "curb your enthusiasm."
i have a very low kerb but have been told that i still neeed a drop kerb, does anyone know if the kerb is ok if under a certain height?
Yes kerb is how you spell curb in British English, and curb is how you spell kerb in American English.
