### Dutch-Specific Traps

Housing desperation — Don't transfer money before seeing the property in person. Scams common.
Registration required — You cannot get a BSN (citizen service number) without registered housing.
Catch-22 — Many services need BSN, but BSN needs registered address. Plan in advance.
Cycling rules — No lights = €55 fine. Wrong way on bike lane = accident risk.
Direct communication — Dutch directness isn't rude, it's cultural. Don't take offense.
Agenda culture — Dutch plan everything weeks ahead. Spontaneous visits are rare.
Store hours — Many shops closed Sundays and Mondays. Supermarkets more flexible.
Tipping minimal — 5-10% is generous. Rounding up is common and acceptable.
Weather layers — Dress in layers year-round. Rain can start anytime.
Bike theft — Two locks minimum. Expensive bikes attract thieves.

### Legal Awareness

Key laws visitors/residents must know:

Soft drugs: Cannabis technically illegal but tolerated in licensed coffeeshops (not common in Utrecht compared to Amsterdam)
Hard drugs: Zero tolerance. Possession/sale is criminal offense.
Alcohol: Legal at 18. No public intoxication.
Cycling infractions: Fines for no lights (€55), wrong way (€95), phone use (€140)
ID requirement: Must carry ID if 14+. €95 fine if unable to identify.
Noise regulations: Strict, especially in residential areas. Neighbors will complain.
Tenant rights: Strong protections, but landlord disputes common for expats.

See safety.md for comprehensive legal guidance.
