Can you use curb in a sentence?

yes you can, an example would be "Don't hit the curb". another would be "can you use curb in a sentence". Edit; The edge of the road, or the gutter, is spelled kerb in Australia. Curb has a different meaning altogether. For example ... "If you wish to live a long and healthy life you should curb your appetite for fatty foods and alcohol." It simply means to be more moderate, not that what-ever it is should be eliminated completely.


What WAY DO YOU TURN YOUR FRONT WHEELS TO PARK DOWNHILL NEXT TO A curb?

When you park alongside the curb the front and back wheels must be parallel within of the curb?

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 Parking must be as close to the kerb as is practicable (it used to be 10 inches maximum but that got repealed) a reasonable distance from the kerb is defined as what the reasonable person would consider praticable.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.
