BOX JUNCTIONS UK: How to use them and what to do if you go into one by accident

[@ConquerDriving]

Very good advice on not allowing other people to put you under pressure.

[@ConquerDriving]

p.s. nothing wrong with crisp sandwiches, particularly the prawn cocktail variety. Also, banana sandwiches can go down well if they're the correct level of ripeness.

[@ZONDOdriving]

@@ConquerDriving 😅. I don’t mind banana sandwiches. But crisps ? 🤢

[@libbyd1423]

this was incredibly useful! straight to the point and lots of useful scenarios and examples, thank you so much

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you Libby 😁 I did try to think about the different scenarios you might encounter so glad you noticed 🙌🏾👍🏾

[@herablanche7256]

Very clear and informative!! Love the examples too, thank you and well done!!!

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you very much 😁👍🏾

This is far, far the best one that I have watched. I am a cyclist and have started to go home a different route and have now have to go into the yellow box. I felt that I needed to check that I was doing the right thing, before, during and after. Glad to say my memory has done myself proud as I have been doing it correctly. I have noticed that many moterist don't seem to know what to do and that does scare me a bit.

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you. And yes you’re right, quite a few drivers are either scared to stop in the box when they can, or are so afraid of getting a fine that when they do enter it, they rush to get out again. Hopefully this will show a few people how to do it correctly. 😃

[@badateverything5392]

Thank you!!! There aren't any box junctions in my area, but I am up for a job in London that requires driving! This video is an absolute life-saver.

[@ZONDOdriving]

Glad you found it useful. When you do come down here you have to be careful because a lot of them have cameras. But hopefully after watching this video you'll know how to handle them like a pro! 😎

[@rhiryaful]

Great guidance though I have never used it before

[@jessicaherring1507]

Box junctions give me legit nightmares!

[@patricianogueirahead3358]

Excellent explanations. Absolutely helpful. Thank you for sharing your videos. 🙏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@UzomaChinaka]

Great video !!. Leave enough space between myself and the car in front so I can see the box junction on time. If going straight, don't enter the box junction if no space in front, even if green light is on. If going right, and green lighted, be confident enough to wait in the box junction until my way is clear. Hope I got it right?

[@ZONDOdriving]

Yes you got it right. When turning right, you have to also make sure your exit is clear before entering the box junction. If it's not clear, then wait behind the stop line, even if the light is green 😃

[@gaben2644]

This was the best explanation of yellow box junction by fat. Thanks very much. Very informative with real scenarios and video footage. 👍

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you Gaben. Glad you found it useful and informative 👍🏾 😀 👌🏾

[@sarahdavies5129]

Excellent

[@sassas23]

Nice stuff, except id make it clear that you are not supposed to enter a box junction (unless turning right) unless the exit is clear. In some of the comments below its mentioned about 'driving very slowly' and I think thats what you say towards the end of the video even though you were going straight on. Granted, if your only other option is to stop, moving forward slowly might save you from a ticket, and i get your intention. Just think that would have been a good time to point out the correct rule for, as i said, clarity.

[@ZONDOdriving]

Very good points raised. Thank you Steve.

[@keith6400]

You may only enter the yellow box area if your exit road or lane is clear whatever way you are going. You may enter the box when turning right if it is just oncoming traffic not allowing you to complete the turn. That is clear at the time you enter the box. Dash cam may help you if ticketed and you can prove other driver/s changed lanes and nicked your space. in your lane the other side of the box. This can happen. If going straight ahead and you know enforcement cameras are on the box and all the traffic suddenly stops leaving you stuck as the only vehicle in the box, consider turning right even though that is not where you want to go. This may give you a legal get out.

[@LG1ikLx]

My test next week. I really hope I don't get a difficult scenario in a box junctions 😧

[@ZONDOdriving]

You will be alright. Good luck 👍🏾

[@billyg1525]

I have my test on Feb 18th and I have been binge watching your videos I love how calm you are. Hopefully I can pass first time with your help🙏

[@ZONDOdriving]

Oh wow thank you! Wishing you all the best of luck on the 18th 😁😎

[@janetteveronica402]

Thank you this was very clearly explained :)

[@PedroConejo1939]

Lots of great examples and a nice, measured manner. Plus, you're the first person I've seen recommend driving really slowly so as to not actually stop if it all goes wrong on you. Brilliant.

[@sophiaL4408]

[@faisalmohd3895]

[@TheBarmyarmy43]

I was in an accident two days ago. The right turn that I was making had filter lights on. I was fourth in the flow of traffic and a car that was going straight that had gone passed her lights (but the traffic was too built up to go through the box junction) just set off, couldn't see her lights were on red (didn't check) and hit my car as I was driving through on the green filter light. She's trying to argue she had the right of way, I have dash cam footage from the car behind her to prove her lights were red when she moved, but it's really knocked my confidence.

[@ZONDOdriving]

If her light was red and you have video evidence I wouldn't worry about it. The insurance should do the right thing. That's why I bought myself a dash cam. They are invaluable in those situations. Don't let it knock your confidence, some drivers make mistakes and they are told by their insurance to not accept the blame. So don't stress 🙂

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

The annoying thing is when you have space but someone changes lane or cuts in front of you at the last second forcing you to brake and then causing your car to be partially on the junction and getting you a fine.

[@ZONDOdriving]

In a situation like that, you shouldn't get a fine. Because someone will be watching it on cctv and would have seen what happened.

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

Thanks for the swift reply, l hope that happens. Recently l was turning right across a box junction and there was a space for me. There was a car in the left lane that already cleared the junction and had a space in front of him but he suddenly switched to my my lane forcing me to brake leaving the rear end of my car on the grid lines. As you said someone should be watching and would have seen what happened. However councils are crafty and it wouldn't surprise me if they just use the photo of my car's rear end on the junction as justification to issue a ticket.

[@ZONDOdriving]

@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv you can request a video of it should they decide to give you a ticket. Think it costs like £10 or so.

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

Yes it happened 3 days ago so I'll wait and see if a ticket is issued. If it is I'll request a video.

[@ZONDOdriving]

@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv good luck. Let us know how it goes! 👍🏾

[@esther4482]

Helpful video !! Thank you

[@jemmathomas4951]

Fantastic tutorial explained and shown from many different scenarios thankYOU

[@cheery274]

The amount of times I see drivers NOT entering the box when wanting to turn right drives me mad. It's similar to drivers who don't pull forward at green lights where there is NO box junction, meaning that fewer cars can get through legally when the oncoming traffic has cleared.

[@EpicJoshHD]

Proper helpful video. Found you on TikTok and your content is sick. Keep uploading g

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thanks Josh. Glad you found it helpful. 😎👍🏾

[@Killer_whale2000]

Great video bro

[@madalinnicolae5594]

Looks like kilburn highroad area, where I live, nice one, how much is your price range?

[@johntho1235]

5 min in the vid when you took a right, what if the traffic light was green for pedestrian and you stopped in the crossing is that allowed?

[@ZONDOdriving]

Hi 👋🏾. The light for pedestrians wouldn’t be green in that situation. You might have a pedestrian walking into the road even though it’s red for them. In that situation, try to keep moving slowly if it’s safe. If it’s not safe then you have no alternative to but to stop. You won’t get in trouble for this. Hope that helps. 👍🏾

[@malikabbas1640]

Very helpful video thanks you

[@russelldriver6394]

I saw you in the bus lane a couple of times - is that allowed?

[@ixa.m9915]

But u were in bus lane?

[@ZONDOdriving]

Yes. The bus lane was not in operation at that time so I could use it. 😃

[@fatemasyed5021]

Thank you, very useful.

[@stevestrange965]

Nice vid. That bus driver shouldn't really be flashing you! So, if you're going straight ahead and the lights are green, you should wait behind the solid white line/ASL until clear, yes? So many drivers go right up to the box junction and then get stuck on the pedestrian crossing when the lights change...

[@markie1232]

Thanks

[@ZONDOdriving]

👌🏾

[@healthorstrength7155]

Can you create a video on going through roundabout yellow boxes and what can be done when other drivers keep cutting it from the adjacent lanes like at the Hammersmith roundabout?

[@PewterworldCoUk365]

Thanks for these useful tips, was never really sure about the left turn... Once waiting for 5 light changes before I could and the people behind where really mad by the end of it lol

[@mariabanik]

This one is really a fantastic explanation for the box junction.

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you. Glad you found it useful. 😁

[@geraouttahermaeens1075]

Yea but if turning left and lights change while you are over the line then you could be given 3 penalty points. Some box junctions are unfair and a cash cow.

[@marditoon1128]

Have you ever got a ticket for staying in a box junction too long?

[@ZONDOdriving]

Not me personally no. But when you say too long, do you mean even though you're turning right?

[@marditoon1128]

@@ZONDOdriving not when turning right. But when turning left when you have just past the traffic lights and there is no space to go past the box junction safely because of heavy traffic leaving you on the box junction for like 15 to 20 seconds. Not sure if I made myself clear enough

[@arniet1]

That was really great my friend thank you
