Yellow box junctions - beware of the trap

Stopping in a yellow box junction can land you a fine but it's not always your fault meaning the yellow box junction can be more like a yellow box trap. In this video I explain and demonstrate the rules around yellow box junctions and how you can avoid a fine.

Most of the yellow boxes where I live are nothing more than faded fragments of yellow paint. The condition of paint work on British roads is dire.

A perfect explanation of how the rules work, and a perfect practical demonstration of how yellow boxes can be poorly implemented and maintained.

After a stressful year of driving lessons while heavily pregnant to having my daughter 11 weeks early your videos helped me to pass my driving test yesterday. Thank you very much x

Thank you for your clear concise information. There's a lot to take in. Often, other YouTubers add a lot of filler to the information which makes it feel congested in my brain!

Yes, this pressure from vehicles behind is going too far. Rude yelling, flashing, horning, gestures. This pressure must stop. It's especially learner drivers and new drivers who are treated this way.

"you can get fined even though you were following the rules" is the most british thing I've heard this week.

[AKAMustang]

Very nice to see the mention of "must" vs "should" rules.

Thanks for sharing! As a Colcestrian, myself, I can appreciate where you're coming from!

Wow! This is the best explanation of Yellow Box Junctions. I've been driving for years and regularly using box Junctions and yet I still learned something new. Many thanks.

Here in Dagenham, so many drivers are too afraid to use the yellow box junctions. They just stay behind!

[perkinwarbeck]

I still watch these videos even though I have a licence, and I encourage others too as well. I still pick up tips from you!

I've been driving for around 40 years and always found yellow box junctions slightly confusing, thankyou for this. I will now check out the rest of your vids I could do with a bit refresher course 👍

[bencoder]

The turning right then exit gets blocked trap is what I wanted to know - glad to know that I didn't really do anything wrong when that happened to me. Thanks

Just passed my test first time with 0 minors, watched these vids religiously thankyou so much!!

Thanks bro for ur concise presentation! Love from Uganda 🇺🇬 east Africa

[jameylee]

Such an excellent video, thank you. I am very wary of box junctions ever since I was caught in one a few years ago, despite having been driving for many years. In some parts of London and presumably other towns and cities, I'm convinced that fines are issued more in order to collect revenue than to keep traffic flowing.

Passed my test second time over the weekend, even after moving off in 2nd gear which I thought I would’ve failed for🤣. Just want to say if it wasn’t for your videos I still believe I’d be learning now. Best channel to come to for learning to drive is this one 100%

[bayralysis]

As an american who has no intention of visiting the UK any time soon, I can say this video was very informative. 👍

Update: I passed my test yesterday with 5 minors. Your videos helped a lot. 🙏

[joshuanelson]

Passed first time today with 5 minors. Your videos were so useful when I was prepping for my test. Thanks!

Just passed my driving test this morning with 5 minors. Your channel is invaluable. Thank you so much for your help.
