The amount of space under the rear bumper, as a rule, is greater than under the front. But there is an exhaust pipe that is easy to damage. This should be remembered when parking.

What clearance is needed in the city?
On the main curb, with a height of 450 mm (GOST 6665–91), it is problematic to call even in a car with high ground clearance. However, it is rather difficult to imagine a situation when someone needs to do this. More often, car drivers have to "storm" road curbs 300 mm high (according to GOST). This is the size of the stone itself, not buried in asphalt or soil. If the curb is installed correctly, then it rises above the road to a height of about 150-160 mm.
Fly to the curb with overclocking is not worth even the owners of SUVs. It is possible that the stone will not touch the body or the machine’s components, but the suspension will work on the “rebound”, which can disable it. In addition, the rim of the rim with such a blow can penetrate the sidewall of the tire. Or the disk itself will be remembered. So it’s better to “tighten” the car on the curb, as experienced drivers say, that is, roll slowly, in tightness. On a machine with a gun, the left leg should be ready to press the brake pedal. If the machine has a mechanic, put your hand on the handbrake. Stop the car if it rolls back.
On a low car, especially not in a hurry. If you can’t stop by the first time, you can roll back a little, so that there is more room for acceleration. And if you are doing this for the first time in your driving practice, first make sure that there are no pedestrians or other cars nearby.
The ground clearance of the first-generation Hyundai Solaris editorial is 160 mm. And he sits on almost any curb with the front bumper. Calling in at right angles is a bad idea.

Calling the curb at a right angle, 90 °, that is, immediately with a pair of wheels, front or rear, is a bad idea. If you have a car with a manual gearbox, most likely you will “scorch” the clutch and strike a bumper skirt on the asphalt - either front or rear.
It is optimal to drive into the curb at an angle close to 45 degrees. Thus, all the wheels roll onto the obstacle in turn, which will reduce the load on the suspension and reduce the likelihood of contact of the suspension arms, sills, bumpers, exhaust system or the oil pan with the stone. However, it is clear that space does not always allow to put the car at such an angle. In this case, you need to set the maximum possible angle and unscrew the wheels to the curb. And only after that slowly roll up on him.
It is best to call on the curb at an angle close to 45 ° - so that each wheel "takes an obstacle" in turn. And do not rush to avoid blows. It is best to call on the curb at an angle close to 45 ° - so that each wheel "takes an obstacle" in turn. And do not rush to avoid blows. Related Materials
How to avoid an accident? Recommendations for drivers
But what if the car is very low (with a small clearance), and the curb is very high (not according to GOST)? Three options. Either leave the idea, do not climb on it, or look for another race (after reading first paragraph 9.9 of the SDA on traffic on the sidewalk and article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses on punishment for this violation). Or come up with some kind of ladders (for example, from long wide boards) and roll up the car very carefully. Maybe even push it by hand.
A relatively simple, but more risky way to climb onto the curb, which is higher than the bumper, is to put the car parallel to the curb at a distance of 10-15 centimeters from it, unscrew the wheel to the curb and try to pull the car. And, without stopping, ride forward so that the rear wheel also enters the curb. The risk is that the wheel may fall off the stone and the car will crash onto the bumper, and that the curb can be hooked on the threshold. In wet weather, when the stone is wet and slippery, it is better not to experiment. In winter - even more so.
Dropping onto the curb in reverse, even at an angle, is doubly cautious, since most cars have a longer overhang and an exhaust system located under the bottom that is easily damaged. But the distance from the ground to the rear bumper for most cars is slightly larger than the distance from the ground to the front bumper.
