If the wheels are on, you can only get one front wheel up at a time with a jack. I've used ramps to change my oil by backing down a slope in my driveway so the car ends up level. I've never had the ramps move when backing down onto them, but i did shoot one backwards when driving off of them one time.

This.

Works great.

As to the other question, my ramps have rubber feet on the bottom that keep them in place as I drive the car up them.
Never an issue with me pushing them along with the car.

Using ramps on a sloping driveway.

Same experience at my place.
