15 degree works out to about 27% slope! Some cars won't even make that without dragging
And 27% grade is San Fransisco grade.
That's a lot of incline!
The seat belts will not let go, some vehicles will kill the engine with accident sensor.
I think something is wrong in this scenario.

Where I live lot of houses need 4WD just to make the slope. I had a house with steep driveway going from the road offside about 45 degree.
Driving VW I had to be extra careful keeping the right speed entering. When I enter too slow, the engine would die 1/2 the way on 100' long driveway.
When I enter too fast, the bumper would hit the driveway before suspension would react.
