Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road (see 'Road markings'). You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping.

unless you drive a van or truck on multi drop then they are the only way you can get across the traffic :lol:

That’s all well and good unless you drive in London every box junction and waited for the traffic to clear you would end up in hospital as the drivers behind would take their frustration out on you!!! It would also cheer ken Livingstone up no end because the traffic would grind to a halt and he would have yet another excuse to tax the motorists
And while we are on the subject of driving correctly why is it that most people who drive on the motorway don’t know how to drive? They sit in the middle lane at 65 MPH because they might overtake the truck 2 miles in the distance in a couple of hours. Doesn’t anyone know the Highway Code? And forgive me ladies but you are the worst offenders with OAPs a close second and people who drive 4x4s a very close third.
(I drive a disco but it won’t go fast enough to go in the outside lanes lol)

MIDDLE LANERS!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: The A38 is a nightmare for this!! usually women on their phones, in a little MX5or similar oblivious of what is behind them or around them, or old folk in their Rover 75.
funny how women spend so much time looking into mirrors but can't use them when driving. If you get a good woman driver, she will probably be better than most men, but there are few of them.There is no reasonably good women drivers. They are either brilliant or crap! sorry if I offend some people but I don't care on this subject. because it is true. spacial awareness you just ain't got it ladies!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Disco Matt:
I have come up behind MPVs doddering around at 60 in the middle lane of an empty motorway, crossed all three lanes to pass them legally and then moved back. They didn't take the slightest bit of notice!

And worse still....
You approach them and flash your lights.... They pull in, then pull back out after you have passed :shock:
Some people obviously think they are meant to be driving in the middle lane!
:
your lucky they pull over at all!!! and normally even if they do, they give you the finger for making them pull into the slow lane (oppps there is no slow lane thats the lane for driving in the others are overtaking lanes)
