But what if your exit road is clear when you go into the box, but

blocked by oncoming cars turning left and then witing in a queue?

I don't think the Highway Code provides advice as to best course of
action to take under that particular set of circumstances. A recent
posting established exactly what the Code does advise...


Yes - just read that. But it doesn't (as you say) cover that
eventuality :-) The reason I said it was because exactly that
scenario happend to me on Sunday.

In this case, oncoming traffic should consider your place taken in the queue
already.
i.e. The person turning left into the last slot should leave that space for
you.

Usually traffic is moving slowly when this happens, so its just a matter of
hoping that the last person to turn left is aware of this fact.
Fat chance with the drivers around my area.
