Do i have to strap my car down on a flat bed truck or will leaving it in park keep still?

Leaving your car in park will not be enough to keep it still on a flatbed truck. While the parking gear engages a locking mechanism in the transmission, it is not designed to withstand the forces and vibrations encountered during transportation.

Strapping your car to the flatbed truck using high-quality tie-down straps is essential for ensuring its safety during transit. Secure the straps to solid anchor points on both the car and the truck, making sure they are tight enough to prevent any movement.

Additional safety measures, such as using wheel chocks and activating the emergency brake, can further enhance stability during transportation.
