Poor woman! Appalling behaviour.
The boxes only work if roads aren't congested. Otherwise they're a nightmare. If drivers didn't enter one particular box I know of in the City of London, the traffic would never get anywhere. It would be at a permanent standstill. I inch across it hoping desperately that I won't have to stop.

Rule 174
You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear.
However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right.

She seemed to want to turn right, so she could have entered the box without a fine.

This really gets on my wick .
There is one particular junction where i cross on a regular basis .
Drivers in the opposite direction are always entering and stopping in the box , when they can see that it is not clear ahead . ( perhaps they for some reason seem to think it's ok , because they are on the major of the two roads )
The result is that i and other motorist cannot proceed when the light changes for us to go .
Then when you signal their stupidity to them they have the brass neck to argue

I have now found a photo of that junction and can see the problem. She was not attempting to turn right at the box, she was trying to get in the lane to turn right at the lights.

A very badly designed junction. As the lights change, drivers are bound to find themselves stuck on the grid. Still not sure why she couldn't proceed though when the lights turn to green?

Gromit describes the rule exactly - I remember it from my test questions even though it was forty-four years ago!
Personally, I would never engage in dialogue with anyone who approached my car with an angry face on. on the rare occasions it happens, I simply lock my door and turn my head in the opposite direction, you can't argue with someone who does not respond.
It does underline the reduced levels of patience and tolerance in motorists, coupled with the rise in inclination to get into other people's faces.

I've only once been caught in a yellow box and it was because of the camber on the road made it difficult to see it and because it was partly worn away.
It's not difficult to drive without without checking the exit is clear first. I drive all over the country and have been in many towns and cities and see it happening all over the place. We've got some notorious box junctions in the city where I live where poeple seem it's their right to fill it up blocking through access to other vehicles.
I've got two dash cams with me so if I ever get a ticket from one (because my exit has been blocked by stationary traffic AFTER I've entered the box) I can use it as evidence.
I'd love for there to be more cameras on box junctions. Keep traffic flowing more quickly. I've not read the article in the OP's original post but if it's the notorious junction I've heard so much about, something needs to be done about visibility to the exit.
