Deze wagens hadden vaak geen bok, waardoor de koetsier op het paard linksachter ging zitten - de ideale plaats om met de zweep in zijn rechterhand de paarden te drijven.

These carts often did not have a box seat, so the coachman sat on the horse at the rear left - the ideal place to drive the horses with the whip in his right hand.

In English, that would normally be called a 'box seat'.

A ‘bok’ is at the front of a wagon where the men guiding the horses are seated.

Mark - what is meant by 'bok' here - Deze wagens hadden vaak geen bok . . . ?
