In a blue zone in Amstelveen a motorcycle (2 wheels) is parked without a parking disc. Next to it a car driver parks at 13:40 and sets the parking disc to 13:30. Who is doing it wrong?
- Neither: 13:30 is the correct setting for the car
- ✓ Only the car driver: the disc should be set to 14:00
- Only the motorcyclist: a motorcycle also needs a disc
Correct answer: Only the car driver: the disc should be set to 14:00
Explanation
False — you apply the disc duty to every vehicle. The parking disc is required for motor vehicles with more than two wheels; a two-wheeled motorcycle does not need one. The car driver does round the wrong way
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you round the arrival time down. You set the disc to the next whole or half hour after arrival: 13:40 becomes 14:00, not 13:30
- Wrong: you apply the disc duty to every vehicle. The parking disc is required for motor vehicles with more than two wheels; a two-wheeled motorcycle does not need one. The car driver does round the wrong way
