Can an automatic car roll away in a parking lot?

An automatic car can roll away in a parking lot if it is not parked in "Park" mode. It can also roll away if the hill it parked on is steep, there is a mechanical failure, or the car is hit by another vehicle.

Here are some tips to prevent an automatic car from rolling away:

- Always put the car in "Park" mode when parking. This will lock the transmission, preventing the wheels from turning.

- If you must park on a hill, make sure to turn the front wheels towards the curb or use the parking brake. This will help to keep the car from rolling away in the event that the parking brake fails.

- Be aware of the area around your car when parking. If there are other vehicles or pedestrians nearby, make sure there is enough space for them to pass safely.

- If you are ever in doubt about whether or not your car is parked safely, get out and check it before leaving the vehicle.
