This happened to me for the first time a few weeks ago. I chalk it up to poor visibility due to weather and not paying attention while I was turning. I basically ended up on the wrong side of a divided road. Thankfully, there were not many cars and I turned around quickly with no problem.

Has this ever happened to you? If so, what were the consequences?

No. I have never been drunk. Why would I be stupid enough to do that?

Telling people on the internet that you broke the driving law and possibly almost endangered someones life doesn't sound smart to me.

No, but I've seen someone enter the freeway from an exit ramp. It was quite scary yet there was nothing I could do. I never found out if anything ever happened.

It's in the past, nothing happened, and it was a mistake. Who's going to testify against me for what? I've learned a valuable lesson to pay better attention in inclement weather, and that's all I'm going to take from this experience.

I did not ask for an assessment of my driving skills or whether I'm fit to drive or not. And I quite clearly said that this was the first and only time it happend to me. Honest mistakes happen, and this was one of them. Now stop bothering me.

I'm just saying that no one is going to like you more saying that you drove on the wrong side of the road. The effect is just going to be the opposite.

I see it merely as a conversation topic. The goal is not to inherently have people like me more or less. It's just to talk about what happens in life, including mistakes as well as tough and dangerous situations.

That's not true for everyone. I appreciate honesty and know that everyone makes mistakes. It's not like he intended to do this so getting mad about it wouldn't help anyone.
But yeah, if we want to be liked by the general people it's best to lie a lot and say little. :(

I am an L-plater and i have never ended up on the opposite side of the road. I'm also told i drive better then most full-licensed drivers my friends know etc.

I just dont get scared when i drive, and feel confident whenever i'm behind the wheel. At the end i just really enjoy driving and could never get sick of it.

The guy that caused a head on collision with my friend last month sure did. Everyone survived, but he is in some deep doo-doo. SO. I guess it happens!

No. I did go down a one way stree the wrong way, but I blame confusing road signs. However, I've never been on the wrong side of a road while driving. That would seem pretty hard to do.

I have... cause I was passing a moron going 10km/h on a 50km/h and the lane to my right was full.

I made sure no car was coming, then I merged back in my lane of course.

No, it has never happened to me. It's fairly easy to prevent.

Only if I'm feeling a little adventurous, and it's around 3am and there's no other cars around... I can pretend I'm driving in America :P
