Yes, a car parked on a steep driveway can experience friction between the tires and the surface of the driveway. This friction helps prevent the car from rolling downhill due to gravity. However, if the slope is too steep or the surface is slippery, the friction may not be enough to hold the car in place, potentially leading to a rollaway. Properly engaging the parking brake and using wheel chocks can enhance safety in such situations.

Why does my car scrape the ground when parking in driveway?
Your car may scrape the ground when parking in your driveway due to a few reasons, such as a low ground clearance, an uneven driveway slope, or a steep approach angle. Driveways with a sharp incline or decline can exacerbate this issue, especially for vehicles with low profiles. Additionally, the weight distribution of your car can change, causing it to sit lower than expected. Consider adjusting your parking angle or using driveway modifications to alleviate the scraping.
