Hi! I’m used to driving on the right side of the road as I’m Ukrainian, and now I’m driving in UK. today after traffic light was green I turned into the wrong direction and it was opposite lane(3 of them) on the first 2 was cars and no one on the 3rd lane (where I drove to) , I was so confused because didn’t see where is the right lane . First my mistake ever in driving. Nobody in accident, everything is fine. It was no flash from traffic lights or anything like that , but just really worry that I can get points , if so , how many of them it will be ? And what kind of fine ? Thank you so much!

If you weren’t caught you should be fine, I wouldn’t worry

I don’t think there’s a specific offence of driving on the wrong side of the road, unless it was a one-way street

You could have been punished under some other rule, like “careless driving”, but if it was an innocent mistake I think any officer would be lenient

I have no legal knowledge and someone will probably explain better!
