No driver of a vehicle which is caused to remain at rest within the area shall be guilty of an offence if at the time he drove into the area they had reasonable cause to believe that they would immediately thereafter be able to drive the vehicle wholly out of the area. 4. Noting in Article 3 of this Order shall apply: (a) to any person driving a vehicle entering the box from Herne Hill with the intention of turning right into Half Moon Lane; or (b) in relation to vehicles used for ambulance, fire or police purposes; or (c) to anything done with the permission or at the direction of a Police Constable in uniform. 5. The prohibitions imposed by this Order are in addition to and not in derogation of any restrictions, prohibition or requirement imposed by any other enactment and any exception or exemption from the provisions of this Order is without prejudice to the provisions of any other enactment.
