Driving mistake
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some honest reassurance or opinions. Last Friday night at around 1:20am I was driving on a one-way street and came to a signal-controlled junction where I was turning right onto a large dual carriageway with a central reservation just sort of set back. I got momentarily confused by the layout in the dark and turned too tightly, ending up on the wrong side of the carriageway for only a few metres. I realised almost immediately, stopped and reversed back. A car was approaching from the lights and I thought/think they flashed me (although I’m not 100% sure), so I crossed over onto the correct side of the carriageway and carried on. No one had to brake hard or swerve, there was no collision, and I didn’t continue driving the wrong way. I also noticed afterwards on Google maps that a “keep left” bollard that used to be on the traffic island appears to have been removed, which may have made the junction less obvious. I’m now worried that if someone had a dashcam and reported it, could this realistically be treated as dangerous driving or driving without due care , or is it more likely to be seen as a brief driving error that I corrected? If so how many point would it roughly be. I have a licence of 4 years and 8 months and no convictions. I did post at the weekend, but this just flares up my anxiety, it was just an honest mistake.
