Default Box Junction Penalty

There isn't a contradiction here. You can arrive at a box junction whose
exit [ahead] is clear, but there's a car already in the box, travelling
forwards. As long as you can predict that the car ahead doesn't stop in
the box (that would be an offence committed by him, but it would also
cause you to commit an offence) then the SI is satisfied.


What if he stops with his rear bumper just clear of the box?

[This has happened many times at the Castle Hill traffic lights. There's
about a car-length between the stop line on Victoria Road and the box,
and another two between the box and the next stop line.]
