Came round the corner driving through town to a police sign. I seen the police sign but didn’t clock the ‘road closed’ part.. eek!
It wasn’t an accident. The road was only partially blocked off on one side. I think they were attending an incident in a house. As there was a few policeman outside a house.
At the moment I presumed we were over taking as didn’t look like anything major was going on. The road wasn’t fully coned off or anything, the other side of the road was clear . No cones or anything , just a small sign on the road, a police car and a policeman lingering around.
I went to proceed over take (slowly) sand a policeman came over shouted and told me to stop so I stopped. He came over and asked me to turn around. I apologised for my mistake. I honestly assumed that we could overtake as only party of the road was blocked off. There was no signs, cones or police up the far end of the road where I was approaching. If the whole road was coned it would have been obvious. I thought it was just one side.
I apologised and turned around and went the other way. I wasn’t fully comfortable with turning around near the bend I just come from with children in the car. There was no prior warnings down the road for a police incident - needed them further back!
This is a bit of a babble but I’m in really anxious that I’ve done something terrible now. That he may of taken my reg and will send me a fine. I’ve never had one in my 10 years of driving. I wasn’t driving fast or aggressively. I apologised for my mistake and turned around to go back.
Please tell me I’m just being daft and the policeman probably didn’t give a crap at my honest mistake.
