Got pulled over by police

They should have been clear about what happens next.

Depends on the preferences and processes for that police force. I would imagine a driving awareness course is likely.

I'd also be reading up on, and watching tutorials on, multi-lane + spiral roundabouts so you don't repeat it. The bit I'd be most concerned about was the cutting up on the exit as you should have been aware of who was around you even if you were in the wrong lane.

I knew straight away, what I had done, and made the officer aware of it, I don't know what came over me, as I have never done anything like this before.

Brain farts happen, we've all been there. Just lucky it didn't cause a scrape on this occasion.

There was no contact between cars, I'm just worried, because the officer made it seem as if I could lose my license.

I don't want to spook you but it is possible - careless driving can be 3-9 points, and 6 or more (in first 2 years) and you'll lose the license - I think most would agree that would be a very dramatic punishment for a a near miss though and the officer maybe just annoyed or trying to scare you, I'd expect a retraining course or 3 points & a fine would be closer to reality.

This is an entirely fair point to make. From how the OP has described this incident, it seems relatively minor, and one that drivers are involved in every day without consequence. It was, however, careless driving, and it happened in front of a police officer. The most important factor here is how serious the police officer thought it was, and we have no way of knowing that. I would also think that a driver improvement course is most likely and that the police officer was really just trying to make an impression to encourage you to pay more attention in future. But you won't know for certain until you receive the letter.

I'm confused. How did he cut the copcar off?
Was he in the outer ring going straight ahead and police tried to move across?
Did he move from the inside ring to the wrong lane on a two lane exit?
Was it one of those ******ed spiral roundabouts where if people aren't paying attention they might run into your side when you exit?

It was your second point, I was in the innermost lane which is meant for going straight, whilst the police car was in the lane next to me, which could be used to exit, I tried exiting aswell cutting them off in the process.

I agree.

OP did you hear anything in the end?

I agree.

Yes, I had to take part in a driver's awareness course, around a month ago. Now the matter has been resolved, and I have not heard of any further action.

There is something wrong with your ‘story’…..you were pulled over a month ago and did a course a month ago…normally takes 3 months to be offered and attend a course. Your timeline makes no sense.
