(b)

Any person seeking to park his or her vehicle in a curb space, whose vehicle arrives at the parking space prior to any vehicle other than his or hers, and who proceeds beyond the space a distance not to exceed ten feet, measured at the rear bumper, for the purpose of backing his or her vehicle therein, shall have the right-of-way over any person driving or attempting to drive any other vehicle directly into such curb parking space, or who, in any manner, obstructs such curb parking space; and the driver of such other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to the driver who first arrived at the parking space.
