The long ones are the worst. It's hard to judge if you will clear the other end without getting obstructed.*

*Box junctions obviously.

Given that the rules say "You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear" that shouldn't be a problem.

If always found it's best to reverse out of a box, and then thrust back in again. Repeat some number of times.

If they don't want cars to pass they should put lights.

There almost always are lights; offhand, I can't think of any box junctions without them. The point of the box junction is to stop idiots going through a green light when their exit from the junction isn't clear, meaning that when the lights change, traffic in the other direction is blocked by the idiots, and you now have two traffic jams instead of one.

I can't believe I had to explain that. Are you being deliberately obtuse, or does it come naturally?

I reckon he is just trolling

no one can be that stupid in reality!

Any box junction I have used regularly doesn't have lights. No way would I wait at a green light just to let some other plonker out whose light is currently red. Green means go unless there is a car/person in front of me.

Oh dear, now it's clear you're trolling. You overdid the stupid, stupid

[original PM]

oh why do i bother but...

the thing is with a box junction if your exit is not clear then there is a car in front of you...

the yellow box is not to be entered unless you can exit it and as such you should treat it like it does not exist..

so in essence although your light is green something is blocking your path..

Wow, aren't you a rebel? Stopping in a box junction doesn't exactly make you a maverick

Precisely. Isn't this the same twonk who ran out of petrol somewhere at some point, or am I getting my sockies mixed up?
