What does curbstoning refer to?

• A. When a vehicle is parked for sale or rent somewhere it shouldn't be; D/S can tow it or issue a 24 hour warning
• B. A method of curb parking by law
• C. A type of vehicle theft
• D. A technique for vehicle inspection

Answer: (A)

Curbstoning refers to the illegal practice of selling vehicles from the curb or street by someone who isn’t a licensed dealer, typically parked in public view with a “For Sale” sign to avoid dealership regulations, licensing, and proper title transfers. Because this activity bypasses legitimate dealer protections and can mislead buyers, authorities may intervene by towing the vehicle or issuing a warning to stop the practice. It isn’t simply about curb parking, a type of vehicle theft, or an inspection technique, which is why those options don’t fit.
