The video does show you stopping and starting to reverse and it doesn't look like you were barely past the signs if at all.
Reversing after passing the signs isn't a defence but an adjudicator may well agree you committed no contravention here.

Post the PCN.

I received a PCN recently date of notice 26/05/2026 for 'failing to comply with a no entry restriction'. I was driving down Rushmead and didn't realise it was one way (last time i went into that road there was works being done and they had lifted the one way restrictions) and made a U turn into the road.I drove into Florida street from Rushmead turning right and then realised it was a dead end. The space was too narrow for a U turn in Florida street and I turned into Rushmead

I did not go the whole way down the street, as I was turning I noticed the no entry sign and reversed back out and went the correct way. Conveniently the video they sent cuts off just as I start reversing. The second image is as far as I went into the road before I started reversing.

Do I have a chance if I appeal or should accept I messed up and pay the fine?
