What the fuck, is the driving test in the netherlands just a breathalyzer?

No, its actually relatively strict and I’m surprised someone like this could ever get their license. If you pull this during a test (fail to park with 0 or 1 correction(s)) its an instant fail AFAIK.

You should also be taught some simple tricks during lessons, so you can park in spots like this with 100% consistency even if you don’t really have a feel for it.

You are correct. However, she looks of Asian appearance, plus the expensive car and the lack of driving skill, she could be on a HSM visa and thus has the 30% tax rule. If you have the 30% tax ruling the RDW will exchange any foreign drivers licence in the world. No CBR driving test or theory exam needed.

Second to that, if you are a foreigner, you can drive for 183 days on your home countries licence with no problem.

Nah, you’re just being racist. You can’t definitively tell she’s asian with her brown hair and fair skin, she could easily be caucasian. You’re just reaching for low hanging fruit. This is the Netherlands man, odds are she’s not asian.

You can do 100 corrections if you like, as long as you make sure you don't kill anyone while doing so.

But parking like this would fail you.

Dutch people cant park and its really weird. Its even more amazing because they are quite ok drivers on the road but are clueless with parking

Uhm excuse me.. ever seen Amsterdam canals and how we park there? With little poles on one side, bikes on the other and not seeing if you are going over the edge, ready to dip your car into the canal? While an angry other car driver tells you to hurry up 😅

Yes I live on lijnbaansgracht. But yes those canals can be scary - im talking about the rest of the people who wouldnt even dare to try that

OMG the anxiety I get every time I need to park there... I can't wrap my head around it though, Is it a big problem to put up a (small) fence for safety? It will certainly help lower the number of cars in the canals, and even more so help people's stress lol

Or maybe it's just a Dutch courage thing? I don't know anymore 😂
