How does a curb to curb transport work?
Curb-to-curb transport. The passenger waits outside their home, waiting for the driver to, hopefully, arrive punctually. The driver will pull up and stop in front of the curb and help the passenger onto the vehicle. Once they arrive at the destination, they will help the passenger out of the vehicle before driving away.
What happens when your car hits the curb?
I start by inspecting the wheel and tire that made contact with the curb. This is usually the right front tire in the United States. When it comes to tire construction the tread is stronger than the side wall and much thicker. Often you’ll see chunks taken out of the tire side wall and sometimes there’s wheel damage.
What’s the difference between curb to curb and door to door?
Curb-to-curb transport. The passenger waits outside their home, waiting for the driver to, hopefully, arrive punctually. The driver will pull up and stop in front of the curb and help the passenger onto the vehicle. Once they arrive at the destination, they will help the passenger out of the vehicle before driving away. Door-to-door transport.
What to look for on a road test after a Curb contact?
There are things that you can look for on a diagnostic road test after the curb contact. I recommend finding an empty parking lot and driving the car slowly in a straight line. Compare this with the position of the steering wheel.
