Dye care and attention on a closed road

There was an accident, and road closed, a major road for 2
hours.
I felt very uncomfortable, and was needing to use a toilet.
So I reversed slowly up the slow lane with my hazard lights on,
to find a police car at the previous junction, they were
directing the traffic off the main road.
I asked if I could exit under direction from them, which I was
told no, and he took my details.
Now I have the result of a court case 6 points and £440 fine.
I feel this is excessive points and fine for a light mistake.
Does the punishment fit the crime ?

That’s not really the point of this forum. It’s to help with
legal matters related to motoring.
We could comment on whether you were sentenced within the
sentencing guidelines if we knew all the facts, but we don't.
From the little you have said I would guess that you were. I
would also guess that the court had no details of your income,
possibly because the matter was heard in your absence. But I
couldn’t be sure.
