Don't worry, @Mi-Amigo - I live in a semi-permanent state of directional 'challengement' 😆

On my driving test, I executed a left turn, the examiner asked me to safely pull up on the left when convenient.

"I said 'Take the next RIGHT' "(actually heading back to the Test Centre!)...

"Now please execute a 3-point turn here, drive to and rejoin the main road to the left, and then take the next right in the direction of the test centre, when safe to do so.".

I passed first time, and the examiner did congratulate me on a good recovery without getting flustered as he handed me my Pass certificate 😁
