Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Stopped in box junction due to car pulling out of side road
« on: July 26, 2025, 10:39:42 pm »
Hi all,
I was forced/had to stop in a box junction as a car from the side road pulled out at speed, to take the space i was driving into. I was driving on the main road, i stopped and did not enter box junction as there was no space in front.. when space opened up/the way was clear i proceeded to move forward but then a car from the side road pulled out at speed ignoring the give way line/sign, crossing 2 lanes to get into the 3rd lane and entered that space so I was forced stop in the box junction for about 10-20 secs.
I have attached a rough image. I was the red box/arrow (on the main road - carterhatch lane) and the blue signifies the car that pulled out from the side road (great cambridge road). If and when I get a penalty notice will I have ground to appeal it?
Thanks in advance
