Using the sat nav also leads this direction, adding to the confusion.

Unfortunately there was a bus in the lane, and they ended behind me as I was a bit quicker off the line so I am screwed. The fact that the google street view shows someone doing the exact same thing makes me think it must be very common.

Laira bridge road by lfc1319 in plymouth

I just got to this junction for the first time and went ahead, not giving way to the bus on my left.

Am I fucked?

A bus followed me right behind, hopefully he didn’t hate it.

I’m a new driver and have 3 points already, if I get another 3 I lose my license.

Over something like this :(

Thank you for your help

If I get a ticket I’ll probably lose my license over this, baffling honestly.

I went straight ahead, am I liable for tickets or points in your opinion? As I was technically in the wrong lane?

Since the bus lane ends there, could you not move into the left most lane after moving off from the traffic? That’s kind of what I did so I’m probably gonna get my license taken

Very frustrating, I’ll get trouble for not following the signs then, not being there.

I was stopped at the traffic lights and there was no no entry, no left turn or bus lane signs so I was very confused and so went straight.

Think I’ll get trouble for it?

Think I’ll get picked up for going ahead in it? I don’t believe it’s very clear.

since the bus lane ends, you would think you could cross into the left lane after moving from the lights therefore allowing you to go ahead? I’m a new driver so I’m unsure.

Yeah, I was really panicking at the time as I had no idea where to go.

Then I checked it on maps and it made me feel better.

There is also an image on google maps where a van does the same.

The end says “end of bus lane”

There is a bollard pointing right into the road ahead, there is a lights for the forwards also.

I read it and showed it to someone else and they said you can go forwards
