A vehicle restraint for preventing a vehicle such as a truck from accidentally pulling away from a loading dock during a loading operation. The vehicle restraint comprises a mounting plate mounted on the front vertical face of the loading dock and a slide is mounted for movement on the mounting plate and is biased to an upper position. The slide is provided with an angular front surface that is inclined downwardly and outwardly. When a truck backs toward the loading dock, an abutment, such as an ICC bar at the rear end of the truck, will engage the inclined surface, wedging the slide downwardly against the force of the biasing means and the ICC bar will then be received within a recess or notch located in the upper edge of the slide. To release engagement of the ICC bar from the notch, a release bar is moved upwardly into engagement with the ICC bar, thereby driving the slide downwardly against the force of the biasing means to release the ICC bar from the notch and enabling the truck to pull away from the dock.
