Hi Muwinte, welcome to the forum! I am having trouble picturing what type of pipe you are talking about. Like a length of pipe lying on the road? In any case, these would be some alternatives:

Your car is stopped on a pipe.
Your carā€™s tyre is on a pipe.
Your tyre is on a pipe.
Youā€™re parked on a pipe.

ā€œthe pipeā€ would only be used if you were already talking about this particular pipe.

Hello Muwinte, welcome to our forum. I take it you wanted to write ā€˜Youā€™re stepping on the pipeā€™?

Iā€™m still trying to imagine what the expression ā€˜stepping the pipeā€™ might mean in this context. Do you mean 'step on the accelerator to speed up?
