In Voorschoten you see two cars. Car 1 stops in the middle of the junction to let a passenger out. Car 2 stops 3 metres before the junction to let a child out quickly. What is right?

Explanation

False — you mix up the two bans. On the junction itself you may not stop; within 5 metres before it you may not park, but stopping briefly to let someone out is allowed there (Book p.161, p.163).

Why learners get this wrong

• Wrong: you think a quick drop-off is allowed anywhere. On the junction itself stopping is forbidden: there you may not stop even briefly to let someone out
• Wrong: you mix up the two bans. On the junction itself you may not stop; within 5 metres before it you may not park, but stopping briefly to let someone out is allowed there (Book p.161, p.163).
