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

    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..

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

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