But what if your exit road is clear when you go into the box, but gets
blocked by oncoming cars turning left and then witing in a queue? :-)


The law makes clear that this is allowed (if you are turning right),
even though the highway code does not.

Except you'll still get fined. That situatuion was what caused me to
get my one and only fine.


Sounds like a miscarriage of justice. Take it to the Appeal Court !!
