They're morons, as are the politicians who passed the law. The law has
not been drafted correctly -



Legal to stop -

Turning right & oncoming traffic
Turning right & queued behind vehicle turning right (the reasons for
the vehicle in at the head of the queue not completing the move are
irrelevant)
Not turning right and not blocked by stationary vehicles


Illegal to stop -

At head of a queue turning right & no oncoming traffic
Not turning right and blocked by stationary vehicles


Legal to remain stationary -

Turning right & oncoming traffic
Turning right & queued behind vehicle turning right (the reasons for
the vehicle in at the head of the queue not completing the move are
irrelevant)
Not turning right.

Thanks for that info, I was not aware on the exemptions for right
turning vehicles, and I'm very glad they exist. I live near a box
junction that's on a main road where I often turn right. If I was to
stay out of the yellow box then I'd block all the traffic behind me (on
a major road), the vast majority of which is carrying straight on over
the junction. So I stop in the middle of the junction, waiting for a
gap in the oncoming traffic so I can execute my right turn, and leaving
the route clear for vehicles behind me to continue straight over.
Before reading this, I always thought I was technically in the wrong,
but it'd appear not.
