The slow is a cautionary warning, if there is nothing in the road to slow you down and it’s safe you can maintain your speed, your speed should always be appropriate to the situation or the conditions, it is about you using your judgment based on these factors but do remember that you can get a fault for going too slow (appropriate progress).
Hi Steffanie, I am not from uxbridge so therefore I am not aware of how the examiners will deal with this local situation, however if you refer to the Highway Code then you should not be in the yellow box. You could try calling the test centre and asking them and explain the you are confused because your instructor has told you to enter the box but you know from the Highway Code that you shouldn't. You will find the staff generally very helpful at the driving test centres. the number I can find online is 0189 5814631 or 0843 504 7271. hope that helps but my view is still that you shouldn't be waiting in the yellow box. There is no need to and there is no benefit to do it the lights will go green and you can move off from the position behind the yellow box.
what I would suggest is that you make a clear acknowledgement of the speed sign so checking your rear view mirror and then if you are 40 into a 60 at least increase beyond the 40 limit, however you do need to be wary of the circumstances in that you could be marked down for not making progress if you are starting to create a backlog of cars behind you. Legally there is no minimum but if the road is suitable for 50-60 then why would you not be driving at that speed is more of the question, and if you are not comfortable then I would suggest to get more practise. By going slow can often cause other drivers to be encouraged to overtake you which on a single lane national speed limit road is not an ideal situation.
We would suggest that you use a cancellation app then to find an earlier test, with regards to your theory test ending you will just have to retake it again if you can’t get an earlier test before then.
Not all box junctions, as some would require you to enter but if it is a yellow box you should definitely not enter unless your exit is clear. It would be well worth you reading the Highway Code section on box junctions if you are unsure on this topic.
@@DrivingTestRoutesUK What if there is much more oncoming traffic? Should I wait before the yellow box and lose whole duration of the green light? My instructor told me to creep onto the yellowbox and turn as soon as the oncoming traffic ends or gets red.
Your instructor is local to the area and as such will no what you can get away with on the test route with the examiner. However the highway codes states that you should not stop and block a yellow box junction if you instructor is suggesting creeping in and keeping the car moving then technically you are not stopped and blocking the yellow box junction but if the situation doesn’t work out as planned and you get stuck blocking the junction you will fail your test.
The road said national speed limit then later said slow, so if I start doing 60 and I see slow, what speed do I get to at the slow bit

My instructor told me to go into the yellow box and wait because I was turning right. Now I don’t know what is correct

on this test uxbridge test route when u see the national speed limit sign what speed is reasonable ? or minimum speed

We would suggest that you use a cancellation app then to find an earlier test, with regards to your theory test ending you will just have to retake it again if you can’t get an earlier test before then.

Thank you! Cheers!
way not stop on yellow box junction ?
Because it is not allowed to stop on a yellow box junction it must be kept clear at all times
@@DrivingTestRoutesUK all box junction?
