âš ī¸ Wrong-Way Driving: It Happens Fast, and the Consequences Last đŸš—â†Šī¸

Whether it was a confusing one-way street, a poorly marked exit ramp, or a late-night moment of distraction, driving on the wrong side of the road is serious. It can lead to citations, license points, higher insurance rates, and in some cases criminal charges. 😟

If it happens to you:

✅ Stay calm and pull over safely when you can
✅ Be polite with the officer, but you don't have to explain or admit anything
✅ Write down what you remember: signage, lighting, weather, and road conditions
