wrong way down a one way street

A bit panicky - earlier in town i went the wrong way down a one way street for about five metres to get to the bike parking, otherwise i'd have to have gone in a longer loop to get to it. It was a bit silly to be honest, I should have just gone the normal way.

My concern is there was one of those moving cctv cameras on a post which probably saw me.

I've already got three points and im a new driver so im quite worried - apparently you can get points for this?!

Has anyone else been caught on cctv and then fined/given points for going the wrong way down a one way street?

Cheers guys!

Don't worry about it. Worry if they send you a NIP through the post. No point in fretting.

5 metres? Doubtful. They might be more strict with failing to observe a no entry.

I'd guess if anything did come through it'd just be a local council fine thing, like those for bus lanes.

In April me and the Mrs went down a no entry, one way, buses only street in Cheltenham town centre while on a hung over ride back from a wedding party, basically she went and I had no choice but to follow or lose her. We were expecting something through the post but nothing came.

It'll probably be alright.

Cheers guys, i hope it'll be okay! Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure i did the same thing a few months ago and nothing came of it.

I've gone the wrong way down a one way street 5 times a week for the last 3 years with no problems, I once met a copper half way down told them I was lost and they let me off.

nah its in Bristol in town, near the parking for broadmead if that means anything? Next to panache and syndicate.

Opposite a police station unfortunately, I just hope the CCTV goes into some council office and not into the station!
