Lesson 43 of 65 · Dutch traffic rules

Driving into a bay Voorwaarts vakparkeren

De regel · The rule

Driving into a bay forwards: if needed stop two bays before it, steer in briskly, and put the wheels straight once the car is almost fully in.

CBR Rijprocedure B: parkeren in een vak voorwaarts

Why this rule exists

A bay is narrow: steering in at the right moment is what keeps you off the cars beside it.
