Hello,

I was driving along a road and noticed i was in wrong direction, i went into a side road and did a 3 point turn so i could travel on the opposite side.

Whilst driving along i noticed a mobile cctv car in the corner, see attached image.

Is it possible i have now got a ticket?

What time was this and where. The CCTV was no doubt there for the school no stopping times. You have to stop on the zig zags though.

This was in Kenton London. Yes it was during the no stopping times hence why he was there. I did not stop, i just turn on to the left road a bit, did a quick 3 point turn, allowed traffic to pass and joined the main road by turning right. I only got worried when i saw him and noticed yellow lines on the side road too.

I did the 3 point turn in the red marking.

Technically you can be ticketed for even a minimal stop of a second. The only way you'll know is if you get a PCN. Come back if you do and update this thread.

Is the car registered to you at your current access - don't assume, check the V5C doc.

When you say three point turn do you mean an actual three point turn, with reverse gears etc. or a loop/circle?

If you just looped they'd be pretty harsh to ticket you for stopping at a give way.

Very harsh and stupid if they did.
Normally they are looking for cars that stop for no reason, often to let the kids out.
But any stopping, ie, checking phone, setting sat nav or the like would be included.
Stopping during the normal course of driving is not a contravention so even if an actual three point turn with stops between forward and reverse, doubt you will see anything from it.

I would agree, as you weren't actual stopping, just driving.

I thought I recognised that road......

On that basis, if you stopped at a crossing you could get nicked, It would be totally unreasonable and I would be very surprised if it didn't win on appeal,
