I was staying in Utrecht and needing to park my car, found a suburb on the outside of town where there were no parking restrictions and left my car there over night. See Im TRYING to abide by the law here.
I came back the next day and found the following note on my windscreen which confused me at first.
'
What the hell?? It took a while for me to translate this dutch masterpiece. Seemingly there is a problem with people sleeping in their cars in the area so this notice is telling me the law in a very universal manner
- First time you get a warning and told to go to a designated car parking sleeping place thing
- Second time you get a 95€ fine
- Third time you get another 95€ fine, the give you some handcuffs (i think) and your car gets towed (to the parking place i presume...)
After that, my car was left alone for the rest of the week! Good on you Dutch police and your common sense, cheers to you!
